The Spanish Speaking Elderly Council-RAICES is proud to honor the graduates for successfully completing the "Raíces Healthy & Secure Basic Computer Training Program" offered at the Red Hook Senior Center.  The ten (10) week trainer lead program introduces hands on computer training, from basics to the Internet and beyond (English and Spanish Classes).  They take great pride in e-mailing friends and family members, searching ("google-ing") people, places and things on the World Wide Web, and sharing their new found knowledge with others. 

 Congratulations to our new Techies of Today (aka TOTs).
