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

Classes are two weeks or four weeks long and meet for two hours once a week. Classes start Monday, June 4, and cost between $20-$40. Class size is limited to eight students and fill up quickly.

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

In addition to classes held at Crestview Estates Clubhouse, 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.
