It’s “National Retro Day,” and we’re feeling nostalgic! With all the high‑tech tools we use today, there’s still something magical about the classics.

📼 What retro technology do you still use and why? 📟
📞 What retro tech do you wish would make a comeback? 📻

We’d love to hear your favorites and the stories behind them! 💛

🌟 Our elders are powerful learners.

One of our recent Tech 4 Elders participants shared this message:

“Technology is hard on you if you don’t have any idea how to use your smartphones, tablets, or computers. Don’t be left in the dark. Don’t be frustrated or feel like you don’t have smarts—BECAUSE YOU DEFINITELY DO!”

We couldn’t agree more. Join our Tech 4 Elders classes and feel confident using the technology you use every day. Thank you for sharing, Sheryl.

💛 You’ve got this, and we’re here to help.

✨ Thank you to all the amazing elders who’ve joined our Tech 4 Elders classes!

Your curiosity, courage, and willingness to learn are truly an inspiration. Whether you're learning a new app, getting comfortable with your smartphone, or simply trying something new, you prove that learning has no age limit. 💛

Here’s to confidence, connection, and lifelong learning — we’re honored to learn with you. 🌟

📚✨ GRTI’s Digital Connect Initiative is all about boosting reading literacy AND digital literacy! This week, we’re filling up the Little Free Libraries across every district in the Community.

We had an amazing time at Elders IT last weekend!

To celebrate a year of learning, we played a Jeopardy-style game that brought back everything we’ve explored together—Online Safety, Cloud Storage, Artificial Intelligence, Streaming Services, and Brain Health.

A huge thank you to and all the incredible elders who joined us. Your energy and curiosity make these sessions so special. See you in 2026!
