National Technology Day
National Technology Day on January 6th recognizes the way technology changes the world and looks to the future of technology.
From the wheel to smartphones, each year the day honors technological achievements made that impact our daily lives.
Imagine the world without technology.  
In our daily lives, we can’t take a step without coming into
contact with a form of it.
The world is abuzz with technology.
Outside of the healthcare sector, tech jobs are one of the
strongest and fastest-growing divisions. 
And let’s face it, technology is at the center of most jobs these days. 
From agriculture, healthcare and fitness to entertainment, food service and security we use technology to keep us organized, connected, healthy and safe.
Please help your friends, family and neighbors learn technology and stay connected to all of the information available to them through technology.
Please see the link at the bottom for a tutorial on how to set up a free email account with Google.

      How To Of The Week
      How to Create a Google Email Account

      This year we have gone to a paperless environment due to our current pandemic. This weekly newsletter is a fast and cost effective way to get information out into our communities. For anyone that has an email address and is comfortable using it this is very efficient and time sensitive.  
      Unfortunately for our residents that do not have email it is not including them in all of this information and great pictures from our resorts.
      I have included an easy video below on how to set up a gmail account.  If someone has a newer cell phone they can set up a free gmail account and access this newsletter through their phone.  
      Please help me with your friends and family living in our communities that would like to be able to see this newsletter.  Let's work together to get them set up with an email account. 
      And ... don't forget to please send me their new email address so I can add them to our list.
