Peoria Area SeniorNet is sponsoring an Open House on Saturday, August 18, 2012 at 10:00 a.m. at the First Baptist Church in Peoria. The church is at 411 W. Lake Ave. at North St. Park in the lot behind the church and use the west entrance.

The purpose of this meeting is to introduce prospective new students and computer buyers to SeniorNet and to answer any questions they might have about computers. The Open House will be followed by registration for fall classes from 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. For more information about SeniorNet and class schedules, go to the SeniorNet web site at www.PeoriaAreaSeniorNet.org.

For other questions, call 1-800-872-4651 ext. 1510. Leave a message and a SeniorNet volunteer will return your call.

The purpose of the Open House is not only to introduce prospective students to SeniorNet, but also to provide a forum where present and future computer users acquire information that will help them make choices when buying computers, selecting computer accessories, and choosing computer courses. SeniorNet instructors and coaches will be available for one-on-one questions and discussions with the attendees.

SeniorNet volunteers will entertain questions from the attendees and discuss such things as what computer you should buy, what courses you should take, and what computer programs are available to you. You may also want to talk about that computer you received as a gift.

Students may register for SeniorNet Fall Classes following the Open House. Former students and those already familiar with SeniorNet may skip the open house and arrive between 11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. to register for classes.

Peoria Area SeniorNet is sponsored by Illinois Eye Center and PNC Bank.
