A Note From Shivali

Hi everyone,
 

To those who celebrate, Happy Easter! I hope everyone has had the opportunity to check out the wonderful cherry blossoms around town.
 

Though our programs will continue to be on hiatus until April 12, I want to draw your attention to an important new tool that you will encounter in the new quarter.
 

Our instructors will be sharing an updated survey with you at the end of each program. For example, there is a question in the survey that asks, “On a scale from 0-10, how satisfied were you with the instructor?” It is important that you take a few minutes to complete this updated survey after each program you attend, as it helps Senior Planet collect valuable information to continue to improve our programming.


Thanks in advance for your helpful feedback!

Earth Day Survey

Earth Day is April 22nd, and we want to learn about eco-friendly habits in the Senior Planet community! Click the button below to take our quick poll, or go a step further and share your personal sustainability practices (and photos) in our Earth Day survey. We’ll post the results and a few of our favorite ideas in an upcoming article on seniorplanet.org. Whether you take part in a community garden, recycle your newspapers, or even limit your shower time to conserve water, no effort is too small to share!

Community Spotlight: Pak & Deying


Senior Planet Montgomery recently completed the iPad Essentials course from February 15th to March 18th. It was our first pilot of a virtual course, and we will be offering it again in Mandarin on April 27th. Here are some words from a few participants, Pak & Deying: 

 

"I am very happy to meet Teacher Maa. I am very honored to be able to participate in the iPad computer course. You were very meticulous and friendly to teach us how to master the iPad and connect to the online world. I also learned how to use Gmail and various apps. Although I haven't learned well enough, as an 86-year-old woman, I will still continue to work hard to learn to enrich my life. I am very grateful to Teacher Maa for spending time teaching us iPad in your busy schedule. I sincerely wish Teacher Maa and your family a happy and healthy life!" -Pak
 

 

"Thank you for teaching us how to use Gmail yesterday. It solved my problems. I have had Gmail for a long time but never used it because I didn’t know how. I just thought that I am familiar with Hotmail and it’s easy to use, so I have never tried to find out how to use Gmail. Yesterday in class you introduced its usages in detail to make me realize that Gmail is indeed a very convenient tool. Finally, I can do Gmail now. Really appreciate MoCo for this course. I’ve learned so much!" -Deying
