Seven FA seniors met with members of Neighborhood Falmouth on January 28 in a session arranged so the FA seniors could help the Neighborhood Falmouth seniors answer questions and solve problems about using their computers or social media. They worked together Saturday morning in our library and computer room.
Members of Neighborhood Falmouth were paired one-on-one with FA students who addressed their specific technology questions. Kay Paine, a member of Neighborhood Falmouth, was thrilled when FA’s Samantha Doyle helped her make the changes and updates to her Facebook page that had been stymying her.
