Animal Rescue League Tour Rescheduled– The date of our tour has been changed to Monday, May 23, at 3pm. There are still a few openings if you’d like to attend.

MAY TECH TALK: Cutting the Cord- Free but please register online.
Thursday, May 26, at 11:30AM on Zoom.

The Tech Committee invites you to join this month’s Special Interest Group, Let’s Talk Technology Conversation – Cutting the Cord. This continues to be a hot topic as the competition between traditional cable networks, streaming services and Internet providers vie for your business. While there is no step-by-step solution for successfully navigating this entertainment environment, it is one that we current consumers can tackle together. Bring your questions and experiences to share as we explore this topic. Bill Meisner and Etta Zasloff will facilitate the discussion, drawing on their own experiences and their April 2021 Cutting the Cord Let’s Talk Technology session.
