SEELEY LAKE - Want to know how to protect yourself from scams online? Have a cell phone/computer and do not know how to complete all the tasks you would like to from it? Want to know how to use Facebook and other social medias more efficiently? Stop by the Seeley Lake Community Foundation West Wing Thursday, Oct. 14 between 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. and visit with volunteers to answer your technology questions, concerns and issues. The volunteers assisting are knowledgeable in several areas and can assist you with help on all different devices; from Apple to Android, Windows to IOS; you name it, they can help.
The goal is not only to resolve immediate issues but prepare attendees for the next time they need to do a similar task.
“Instead of doing a long-winded training on different aspects of technology, we wanted to offer something more personal,” Foundation Executive Director Claire Muller said. “With this event, you will be able to receive one-on-one assistance from someone who knows what they are talking about and will be patient with you and your concerns. With the help of the volunteers, you will be better prepared, and confident, the next time you have this issue and will be able to tackle it like a champ.”
No appointment is necessary. If possible, attendees are asked to bring in their device so volunteers can work with them to resolve any issues. However, devices will also be available to use.
“We understand how frustrating technology can be but that is what our event is for,” The SLCF AmeriCorps VISTA Della Cole said. “We are excited to meet you and lend out a helping hand!”
For more information, contact the SLCF at 406-677-3506. With COVID continuing in our community, please call the day before to verify that we’ll still be holding this in-person event.
The Foundation Building is located at 3150 MT Hwy 83 N, in downtown Seeley Lake.
This opportunity is part of a series the SLCF is developing thanks in part to a grant from the Foundation for Rural Service to create a community tech hub at the Foundation Building. This one-year funding will support and build upon the SLCF’s efforts to help the Seeley Lake community through this difficult time, face the unique challenges of rural living and help get the community the tools and information needed to set the stage for future success.
