FiftyForward Bordeaux CyberSeniors Graduated! Cyber-Seniors is a non-profit organization whose goal is to bridge the digital divide and connect generations through technology. FiftyForward members participated in a four week program that started on June 21st at Bordeaux Library. Twelve members started the program and twelve members finished the program, meeting a 100% attendance. On July 17, 2018, at the downtown Nashville Library, FiftyForward Bordeaux had twelve members to graduate. Members marched in as a graduating class, received a certificate and a new tablet for completing the class. They were also served lunch. We also had the honor of having Dr. Jocelyn Briddell as our guest speaker for the Cyber-Seniors Graduation. Now that we have twelve members connected to the digital world, they have agreed to start a FiftyForward Bordeaux Computer Club, beginning in August. The group will meet once a month over tea and coffee.
OUR MISSION FiftyForward supports, champions and enhances life for those 50 and older. We are happy to provide FREE WiFi here at the center. Look for the FiftyForward Guest Network and type in 50Forward as the Password.
Success, or achievement, is never a one-step deal. By mapping out the route we need to take, we can break it down into individual steps, which will bring us gratification all along the way to our ultimate goal. Achieving these small goals proves that we have what it takes. Confidence builds slowly with daily reinforcement. Melvin D. Fowler, Center Director
