Remote Resources for Seniors–WOW!
We promised to keep you connected, supported, and entertained even when you can’t come to Avenidas. We’re introducing new online programming and sharing resources for seniors.
Online Events
Classes and events at Avenidas are going virtual. Keep an eye on our calendar to see what’s happening. If you’re new to the Zoom platform, be sure to read the instructions or watch a video tutorial.
