“YOU & YOUR DIGITAL TABLET”

CARP Montreal West Chapter 37 is excited to announce a technology for Zoomers workshop. So many of us now have an iPad, iPhone, or other digital tablet. Are we getting the full value from our devices? For many the answer is no!

Harness the power of your digital tablet or phone Apps! Join us on Sunday, April 14th.

We will have a few iPads available but if you own a tablet it is best to bring It. The details are:
