The Leisure Hour Club is pleased to announce its upcoming meeting on March 19, featuring guest speakers Ron Norton and Barbara Wickman from the renowned nonprofit organization, ComputerCorps.
As technology continues to evolve at breakneck speed, Norton and Wickman will provide an insightful look into how ComputerCorps bridges the “digital divide” by recycling electronics and providing affordable technology to those in need. The presentation will cover the organization’s mission, its impact on the local community, and practical tips for staying tech-savvy in a rapidly changing world.
