in danger of becoming socially isolated and to enrich their lives through regular social visits from dedicated volunteers.

Computing for Seniors Program
Our Computing for Seniors Program is a nationally recognized program that helps seniors learn basic
computer skills. These free computer courses are taught in a classroom setting on laptop computers by
experienced patient instructors.
Three levels of courses are available: Basic (for seniors with no computer experience), Basic Plus (for
seniors with some computer skills, but limited knowledge), and Basic Plus 2 (for seniors who want a
better understanding of computer basics including email and internet). Preregistration is required.
Classes are filled on a first come, first served basis. To register, call the Federation office at
902-368-9008 or toll free 1-877-368-9008.

PEI Senior Citizens' Federation Member Meetings
The Federation holds two membership meetings each year. Our Annual General Meeting (AGM) is held in May at a
Charlottetown location. Our general meeting is held in November at a location outside Queens County. Both the AGM
and General Meeting are open to all seniors - members and non-members. These meetings are upbeat events and
offer a balance of entertainment, information and great food. They are also a good opportunity for Island seniors to
network with other seniors and clubs.
The 2012 Annual General Meeting is scheduled for May 16, 2012 in Charlottetown.
The 2012 General Meeting is scheduled for November 14, 2012. The location is yet to be selected by the Board of
Directors.
