WHAT we do
Project Description:
We were instrumental in getting wireless installed for our local Senior Center
and with the generosity of Communications Advantage they will receive it for
free.
Using the computer is of greater importance to our citizens (Amador County ranks first in terms of the per capita population for people 65 or over) who do not have the ability to run out to shop in large shopping centers since we don’t have any available without driving an hour or more. The wireless allows our citizens to surf for medicines, health information, shopping from the comfort of the Senior Center, emailing friends and family and so much more plus it allows our group to better serve our members in teaching the internet.
The new free wireless was installed in July by Communications Advantage and has been a big boost to the citizens as well as the many groups who meet at the center. This is a great example of how talking to others can bring such great results in helping the community.
How we will use award money:
We will apply it to our scholarship fund which we provide each year for a
student graduating and continuing their studies in the computer field.
