FALLBROOK – The Foundation for Senior Care will sponsor a series of computer classes and workshops taught by volunteer computer technicians at the Crestview Estates Clubhouse.

The four classes being offered are "Using Windows 10," "Android Smart Phone and Tablet," "iPad and iPhone" and "Introduction to Computers/Basic."

Classes are four weeks long and meet for two hours once a week. Classes start Monday, Jan. 22, and cost $40. Classes are limited to eight students and fill quickly. For a description of classes or more information, call Foundation for Senior Care at (760) 723-7570 or check out the classes at http://seniorcarecomputerlearningcenter.org.

"Our goal is to assist seniors in the community in using technology to keep in touch with family, friends and share pictures," said Russ Hatfield, a computer learning volunteer for 14 years. "It's very rewarding to teach others to use apps such as Facebook, messenger and many other chat/text apps to stay in touch with those they love."

In addition to classes, the Foundation for Senior Care hosts a weekly open lab on Fridays, called Fix it Friday, where seniors can walk-in for help with software or hardware problems. There is no charge for this service, but donations are encouraged.
