LEWISTON — SeniorsPlus, the designated Area Agency on Aging for Western Maine, is partnering with Lewiston Girl Scout Troop 135 to offer a smart device walk-in clinic.
The free event is scheduled for 6:30 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 17, at SeniorsPlus, 8 Falcon Road.
High school members of the troop will work with participants on concerns regarding cell phones, tablets and other interactive devices.
“This is an intergenerational event. We are creating a space where people of different ages can connect,” said Betsy Sawyer-Manter, president and CEO of SeniorsPlus, according to a news release from the agency.
The Scouts can address a variety of smart device questions including adjusting screen brightness, downloading apps, changing font size, using Zoom or FaceTime, setting alarms, enabling hearing aid mode, turning on voice dial, turning on LED flash for alerts, and enabling Find My iPhone.
Girl Scout Troop 135 is based in the Lewiston/Auburn area. According to troop leader Amy Broadbent, “Our Scouts enjoy such outreach work. It allows them to use their leadership skills and get a good sense of the needs of our community, while becoming strong, independent women.”
No appointment is necessary. SeniorsPlus requires masks, social distancing, and a limit of 10 people in the education center where the event will be held. There will be a waiting room if capacity is reached.
This is a walk-in clinic. For more information, call 207-795-4010 or email gnelson@seniorsplus.org.
