Larry's Covid Data for the past week:
STN member Bill Krajec writes: Amy (Shadwell) is a long time member of SciNature club and she is going blind. She is not computer literate. She needs to learn how to talk to her computer to access the club. She also needs a cable to connect to her TV for a bigger picture. I am trying to help her find someone to help her. Do you have any ideas? She will be at the meeting at my place Tuesday and will be available to talk on zoom. Thanks Bill
