Observing Memorial Day

Have a picnic, watch a baseball game, visit the cemetery. Enjoy your 3-day weekend and the unofficial kick-off to summer but also remember to take time to observe Memorial Day and its meaning. The official National Moment of Remembrance is at 3 p.m. on Memorial Day. Americans are asked to pause for a duration of one minute to remember those who have died in military service to the United States. Remember, we are the Land of the Free because of the Brave!

How do I "Zoom"?

Zoom is a fun (and easy) way to teleconference with numerous people, right on your home computer. It includes audio and video, with your screen looking something like the Brady Bunch.

Once you figure it out, you can attend Senior Center events, as well as ‘meet’ with friends, family, church groups, classes and more! Over 200 million people use Zoom each day—and if they can figure it out, so can you!

Just type "Zoom" in your browser and you will see dozens of instructional videos or CLICK HERE for an easy explanation.
