NORTH READING – Empowered with new technical skills, 22 senior citizens successfully completed the iPad Basics Course, a multi-week program, at the Edith O’Leary Senior Center last week.
The course was conducted by staff from Mystic Valley Elder Services (MVES) and coordinated by McKayla Arnold, MVES Technology Access Program Manager.
“It was a wonderful course, and the Senior Center truly appreciated this opportunity to collaborate with Mystic Valley Elder Services,” said Senior Center Director Kim Manzelli. “Graduates received new technical skills, met new friends, and received a new iPad provided by MVES – one per household – at the completion of this course.”
