AT & T Reconnect Tour Connects with Seniors at Windsor Park in Carol Stream – Second Day Added on October 11
Senior citizens are more than ready to stay connected via new technology such as smartphones and tablets. Windsor Park, A Covenant Retirement Community, found that out when the 120 spots for the first day of a free educational workshop filled up quickly.
Because of the demand, the continuing care retirement community in Carol Stream added a second Senior TechRally™ on Thursday, Oct. 11. The no-cost, hands-on educational workshop introduces seniors to the simplicity of today’s mobile technology.
The AT & T Reconnect Tour, in alliance with Senior TechRally™, walks participants through basic functions of modern devices, teaching them to stay connected with loved ones via smartphones and tablets. According to a news release from Senior TechRally™, topics include text messaging, apps, video calling, e-books and photo sharing.

About AT & T Reconnect Tour in alliance with Senior TechRally™:
In the Fall of 2011, MME (www.mmelive.com) partnered with AT&T to bring Senior TechRALLY ™ to Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) in the North Central USA. Because of the positive response by seniors, a National Tour was launched. The 2012 AT&T Reconnect Tour is traveling coast to coast, with a footprint five times as big as the first one, with more devices, more people, and most importantly, an accelerated ambition to make real change in the lives of seniors.
