The Tech Savvy Seniors – Introduction to Online Shopping course will show participants how to make purchases, bank and pay bills online.

“Modern technology makes it possible for you to do all of your errands quickly and easily without leaving your home, leaving you more time to do the things you enjoy,” said Mayor Lara Symkowiak.

“With this course, participants will know how to monitor their banking, book a holiday, buy groceries, pay their bills and more,” she said.

The course is designed to assist seniors who have limited or no experience in using technology.

It will be held 1pm-3pm, Monday, April 16 at Narellan Library.
