SeniorTech of Puget Sound (STPS) has been incorporated as a Washington state nonprofit corporation to provide technical assistance for seniors and any others interested. Technical support is available for Windows-based computers, Android-based smart phones and tablets, Apple-based smart phones and tablets and digital cameras. An all-volunteer group of experienced seniors will assist with technical issues at a pace that is adapted to senior learning skills.

One-on-one assistance with computers and mobile devices will be available, starting Aug. 12 on the second and fourth Tuesdays of each month (and the fifth Tuesday when there is one) from 9:30 a.m. to noon at the North Bellevue Community Center, 4063 148th Ave. N.E. A volunteer donation of $3 for Bellevue residents and $4 for non-residents is suggested.

“Seniors had expressed concern about the loss of such technical assistance after other organizations offering similar services ceased operations. A group of us got together and decided we could fill the gap,” said Hal Mozer, chairman of STPS.

STPS also plans monthly general meetings, open to all, to present updates on technology and to discuss technology issues of special interest to seniors.
