ENTER THE WORLD OF THE COMPUTER

Our modern world is rooted in the computer so you need the skills. This Spring, the Literacy Center of Milford is turning on its computer just for you, and offering a hands-on computer class and workshop designed for individuals to learn basic computer skills and become comfortable with using computers for personal use. It will increase your chances of getting a job and attach documents to emails. The course also will help you ‘join the conversation’ by engaging in social media. Participants will learn how to search the web, open and manage an email account, read and send emails, search for documents, attach documents to emails, and social media. Participants will also learn how to use Microsoft Word to write documents. An introduction to PowerPoint basics will be provided. All tutors, students and other friends (past and present) are invited.

“DIVERSITY DAY” – EMBRACE & CELEBRATE IT!

Diversity includes everyone –
from different cultures, different national backgrounds and different beliefs. Diversity also means respecting everyone. The Literacy Center of Milford supports the diversity concept and invites you to join us in celebrating DIVERSITY DAY on Tuesday, June 10, 4:30 – 8:00
at the Rotary Pavilion in collaboration with Milford’s 375th Celebration. Tutors and students will be preparing food dishes from their country along with wearing cultural attire with decorations and more. Cultural music and dance will accompany the event. Would you like to join in on the fun and share your heritage? We all migrated from somewhere.
This is a great time for us to all come together.
