Since the beginning of May 2011, we have been experimenting with using the Internet and a LCD projector at Day Club to enhance our daily news discussion and entertainment activities.  The LCD projector allowed the participants to view images on a large screen (ok, a large wall) which is much clearer than the images on our television.  The Internet access expands content and activity options, enabling us to:

• play interactive crossword puzzles as a group
• watch and discuss the news with live content, images and videos
• follow along senior-friendly online exercise videos
• watch funny movies on YouTube
• watch DVD movies

We have only scratched the surface as to what we can do with the Internet.  An added benefit of using a bright LCD projector is that we can keep the lights on; this means, literally, having a brighter day at the Day Club.   This effort has been possible through the work of Saun Shewanown, Ph.D. from Adaptive Research.  

Adaptive R&D is loaning us the LCD projector on Tuesdays?Thank-you Adaptive Research!!

In order for Day Club participants to enjoy the enhanced experience permanently, we need your donation for our own bright LCD projector at a cost of $700.  We also hope to have our own touch screen monitor to create a special interest program for each Day Club participant.
