LEWISTON — SeniorsPlus is partnering with Lewiston Girl Scout Troop 135 on a smart device walk-in clinic from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 17, at SeniorsPlus, 8 Falcon Road.
The event is free. High school members of the Girl Scout troop will work with participants on concerns regarding cellphones, tablets and other interactive devices. No appointment is necessary. SeniorsPlus requires masks, social distancing, and a limit of ten people in the Education Center, where the event will be held. There will be a waiting room if at capacity.
Betsy Sawyer-Manter, president and CEO of SeniorsPlus, said, “This is an intergenerational event. We are creating a space where people of different ages can connect.”
The Scouts can address a variety of smart device questions including adjusting screen brightness, downloading apps, changing font size, using Zoom or FaceTime, setting alarms, enabling hearing aid mode, turning on voice dial, turning on LED flash for alerts, and enabling “Find My iPhone.”
Girl Scout Troop 135 is based in the Lewiston/Auburn area. “Our Scouts enjoy such outreach work,” said Troop Leader Amy Broadbent. “It allows them to use their leadership skills and get a good sense of the needs of our community, while becoming strong, independent women.”
