Seniors, Teens & Technology - Compliments to those who put these together!

And what are we referring to? We are referring to the "Cyber-Seniors – Connecting Generations," 2014 film screening.

Throughout 2014, communities across North America will be hosting screenings of "Cyber-Seniors – Connecting Generations," to help inspire and engage intergenerational audiences to work together for the common cause of helping seniors understand and use technology in everyday life. What a great goal!

The Cyber-Seniors website is host to a number of resources, contest information and updates on how to get involved. Check out the Cyber-Senior website and spread the word - this is a cause worth sharing!

As Seniors Resource Guide finds upcoming film screenings in our local directories we will be posting event information.

Assisted Living & Motorcycle Ride - How often do you see those words together?

Yes, in this case assisted living and motorcycle ride go together in the "2-Wheel Fantasy – Poker Run and Rides for Residents Fundraiser for Bessie’s Hope."

Sometimes you just see an event that puts a smile on your face and this is it! Bessie’s Hope has a wonderful fundraiser coming up in Denver on 5-31-14 called the "2-Wheel Fantasy – Poker Run and Rides for Residents Fundraiser for Bessie’s Hope." 

This is a motorcycle ride that combines the scenic beauty of Denver with stops at a few assisted living communities and nursing homes. Biker volunteers can take elders for a ride around the parking lot if they want or just stop and meet with the residents. Take a look at a video from last year's event - Click Here.

The Denver Post YouHub ran an article about the organization this week - Click Here. By the way Denver Post YourHub is great for finding local news and events.

And let’s talk about the wonderful services that Bessie’s Hope brings to elders living in nursing homes and assisted living. Bessie’s Hope brings volunteer opportunities for youth, families, individuals and community organizations with the too-often forgotten elders living in assisted living and nursing homes.
