Senior Planet from AARP in San Antonio is hosting a live, interactive telephone town hall on Wednesday, June 22 from 6:00 pm to 7:00 pm CDT, to discuss digital inclusion and the importance of connecting older adults to the internet – in an affordable way. Panelists will also discuss the benefits of being a part of the online community, whether to stay in touch with family and friends, apply for jobs, look for social opportunities, adopt a pet, and more. This is the fourth in a series of tele-town halls designed to engage and inform the community on the inequities of digital access for older adults, the importance of changing the way we age, and the work happening at Senior Planet from AARP in San Antonio to keep older adults active and connected.

The June 22nd town hall speakers include:

• Councilwoman Phyllis Viagran, San Antonio, District 3
• Darryl Greer, San Antonio Program Lead, Older Adults Technology Services (OATS) From AARP
• Gavin Nichols, Senior Program Manager, San Antonio Area Foundation
• Yolanda Perez, Human Services Administrator, Department of Human Services, Senior Services Division
