Today is your last chance to register for next week's Oct. 5 van trip to the "towns" of Ashland, Garfield and Patten, ME! Only two (2) seats remain!

The City of Presque Isle's Dept of Recreation and Parks once again has generously donated their time and resources to partner with SAGE to help achieve one of our group's evergreen objectives: Learn more about local history by visiting area museums.

These trips were a passion project of SAGE's late and beloved Chairwomen Penny Kern and Phyllis Taylor. SAGE is honored and grateful to our many supporters to be able to continue offering them. These trips would not be possible without the behind-the-scenes networking, planning and organizing work of dedicated SAGE members Alice, Emma and Barb. Special thanks to Erica D!

Deadline is 4 PM today (Sept. 30)_ to RSVP. Call Sargent Community Center at (207) 764-2545 extension #3.

The accompanying photo was taken Sept. 24 during our Planning the Future of SAGE meeting where we asked attendees what they want the future of SAGE to look like. As you can see, "day trips" is still something people are interested in.

Randy told a SAGE member that the orchard is beautiful right now. U-Pick is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. We encourage people who can walk on lumpy, uneven ground to get out there and see the 38 different varieties. The end of season is near. This is *not* a SAGE event. We are simply sharing information.

Tonight's mini-tech challenge is ... Visit the University of Maine at Presque Isle (UMPI) website and see if you can locate the University's current Mission Statement.

Not sure where to begin? Follow these steps:

1. Go to https://catalog.umpi.edu/

2. Look for "University Overview" (left) then click it

3. Click the link "Vision, Mission and Institutional Values"

Expected results: You see UMPI's Mission statement (and its Vision and Values too.)

That's it!

If you want a bonus exercise: See if you can locate the Mission from 2018-2019.

Please give us a thumbs up if you took tonight's mini-tech challenge. Thank you for being a lifelong learner.

We like the performing arts and being entertained! Where will our ideas take us? How about to the public library in Presque Isle on Saturday Oct. 3 from 1-2 PM to hear classical guitar performed live by Jeff Bianchi? https://www.facebook.com/share/p/19N3BhPRH7/

This is not a SAGE event. We are simply sharing it based on our Sept. 24 brainstorming session "Planning the Future of SAGE".

Please contact the Mark and Emily Turner Library for more information, or click the link, above.

The sun has gone down. Now what? Why not explore a new skill with a little personal tech challenge?

Step 1: Write down, or copy and paste, or photograph all the steps below in case this facebook posting mysteriously goes somewhere and you're not able to find it again. (It happens!)

Step 2: Go to this website https://www.edx.org/

Step 3: Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the edx webpage and find the "About" link. (Hint: lower left)

Step 4: Click the "About" link.

Step 5: Find the heading on the page that says, "What is edX?"

Step 6: Close the edX webpage.

Step 7: Return to this posting on SAGE's page.

Step 8: Post a comment on this Facebook post about your experience. Were the instructions vague or clear, easy or hard? What year was EdX founded and by whom?

This mini-tech-challenge is a response to the interest expressed on 9/24 by a few of our "Planning the Future of SAGE" participants. One SAGE member noted that we can *audit-for-free* many of the classes at EdX, but there is a specific set of steps you must follow to find them and to audit them for free.

If you were able to follow the steps above, you can likely follow the steps that will lead you to the audit-for-free classes.

The best jumping off point for many of us will be How to Learn Online. Remember, you can audit for no cost, so don't pay any money until you learn how! Let us know if you want to know more about the "How to Learn Online" class or any of the others.
