What You Tell Us
Senior Connects has received over a thousand emails phone
calls, and letters, thanking us for our program. And THANKS so very
much for letting us know!
First, here is a sample of some of the letters that we have
received from the independent and assisted living facilities and secondly,
excerpts from some of the emails that we’ve received from individuals.
---------------
“Thank you so much for your help and consideration
of The Harrison Retirement Community for your good works. We are so
impressed with your organization and sharing that you and your team
have shown by volunteering your expertise, and most importantly, your
time, in helping seniors become computer and Internet literate. Your
attitude and initiative that you have displayed to us will take you
far.”
- Ms. Tracy Cornforth from The Harrison
---------------
“Thank you…and the residents here at Summit Place
West would also like to Thank You.”
- Mrs. Wagner at Summit Place West
--------------
“Our residents are so excited about having a computer
at their disposal…and has brought many smiles! We also have
a computer class started by one of our residents who is very computer
savvy. He was very excited with the delivery! So pat yourselves on
the back, what you are doing is a wonderful community service and
is greatly appreciated!”
- Ms. Dana Huffman at Bethany Village
-------------
“On behalf of Crestwood Assisted Living and Independent
Apartments, Thank You for the three computers…what a great program!”
- Kimberly Thomas at Crestwood Village
-------------
“We greatly appreciate your kindness.”
- Michael Clancy at The Sugar Creek Nursing and Rehabilitation
and The Chateau at Sugar Creek Assisted Living
-------------
“Thank you so much for the donation of your time and
knowledge. We have received our computer and are excited about the
upcoming learning process for our residents. Seniors connects sounds
like it is on a path of teaching “kids” to give back to
their community. Our residents are very enthusiastic about the upcoming
training and we look forward to continuing our relationship with you.
Again, we truly appreciate this outreach.”
- Ms. Janice Franklin at El-Beulah Retirement Village
-------------
“What a wonderful program you and your colleagues have
offered to our seniors. I look forward to giving them the opportunity
to learn something new, and giving their families a chance to email
their loved ones. We intend to put our computers to use right away!
Keep up the hard work. It is appreciated by so many.”
- Ms. Dana Criss at Altria Senior Living
-------------
“Words are inadequate to thank you and your group for
the generous gift of the computer. Your timing of the gift was great
because here at Jackson-Peoples, we are in the process of implementing
a networking computer lab for the senior citizens that reside here.
Sincere thanks and continue to bless others as you have blessed us.”
- Ms. Deborah Saffold at Jackson-Peoples Senior Living Center
-------------
“We are very excited about getting started!! Thank
you so much for helping enhance the daily lives of our residents.
I foresee a whole new world opening up via the computer for many of
them. (Known fact: We never lose the desire to learn. Learning validates
our self worth to the community and ourselves). Again, may God Bless
your program and all those that are involved in the program.”
- Ms. Sandy Creek at Sunrise Senior Living
--------------
“I wanted to say thank you from all the residents and
myself at Miller’s Senior Living Community. We had no idea that
dedicated folks like you were doing such wonderful things for our
seniors. Our residents will look forward to using the computer!
- Mr. Greg Gormal

Thanks very much for your note and for your project. Dminer145@____.com

Keep up all of the great work that you and your friends are doing.

I have 4 computer monitors, several keyboards, 2 printers - a color
inkjet and a fast laserjet, along with some other odd computer related
equipment left over from a business I am shutting down. All of this
material works, it just needs a good home. Can your organization use
it? Jdrardin?@___.com

Hello,
I just read about your program in Not-For-Profit News. You are providing
an outstanding service! I have an older friend who lives at Robin
Run Village on the city’s Westside. She would love to be able
to use the internet but needs someone to teach her. I think also that
there would be more at Robin Run who would be interested in the classes.
Could you tell me if you currently have a program at RR? If not, do
you have a telephone number where someone could be reached to discuss
bringing the program there? I request the telephone number because
my friend is, of course, not internet/email savvy yet! jdobson@___.com
-------------------
I would like to be able to talk to you or someone on the phone RE:
computer lessons. I saw this in the paper. I am a senior female. I
do need some help.
Thank you, God Bless Marimaas65@___.net
-------------
The Indy Star had a great article on your organization! That is a
great way to bridge the generation gap between the young and old,
and build a service mentality in our youth. I am interested in having
my 70 year old mother-in-law get some PC user training and get a computer.
She presently resides in Kokomo and I wanted to know if you have any
volunteers in that area? In addition, I would like to purchase a used
PC for her after taking some classes. Does your group offer used PC's
to purchase?
Thank you for your time and assistance. ejwallner@___.com

Hello. I read your article in the Star. What a great service you
are providing for our senior community! K_doss@___.com

I read an article in Indianapolis Star about your great work! How
do I get 2 used computers to you? Please advise! John thinkstnls@___.cnet
-------------
You are all doing a very good thing -- I just got my 93 year old
Dad on line, and he is doing fine. Keeps up with the news, e-mails
his 8 kids, and many of the grandkids coonytomi@___.net

Again I commend your generosity in what you are doing for others.
Peace! jcarey@___.org

Hello,
I read about you in the Indianapolis Star. I’m impressed by
your organization and your very good charity work. I have a computer
that I would like to donate, if you have a need for it. kstetler@___.net
------------
Again, I think what you are doing is absolutely wonderful. I'm 40yrs
old and use computers everyday in my job but when it comes to my own
personal computer I'm totally lost. I'm in school now and taking all
the computer classes I can to learn more. Keep up the good work, your
parents should be very proud of what you have done for and with senior
citizens. indygirl@___.com
------------
I think your program is great. Keep up the great work. You open many
doors for the Older Adult population imanton@___.com
----------
As I told you on the phone a couple weeks ago I think what you're
doing is terrific. Dr987@___.com

Good luck to a very special fellow. Your work is admired and appreciated.

Dear Gentlemen,
My wife saved the article from The Star of 2-3 weeks ago. We have
a computer which we would like to donate, if you can use it. We erased
its hard drive (or at least attempted to do so) when I bought a replacement.
If you can use it, let me know how to get it to you and it is yours:
CPU, speakers, mouse, keyboard, &c. Just no monitor. Thanks. schleppers@___.net
-------------
We just read about the work you do recycling computers for seniors.
Thanks so much for performing this much needed service to the community!

I recently read the Star article about the wonderful work you all
are doing with senior citizens in different long term care facilities.
Congratulations on all the good work you have accomplished in such
a short amount of time. I hope other teenagers like yourselves follow
your lead and create similar programs nationwide. Stick47@___.com

Can I bring it somewhere to be dropped off for your group Surguine@___.net
-----------

company. You are to be commended for such fine efforts. Pjac321@___.com

Hello I just read the story in the times today and what you guys
do is great. 600-volts@___.com
-----------------
I was very impressed when I read about your
organization. Although I am not a student (and haven't
been for a very long time!), I'd be interested in
helping out. I have quite a bit of experience teaching
computer skills, and frankly, never thought about
connecting with senior living facilities. It's
inspirational to read about someone who saw a need and
filled it. murnkem@___.com

Very nice article in the Star. Congratulations on doing a great service
to the retired and elderly. jfjanson@___.com

I saw an article in the STAR about the great work you guys are doing

re: how to get them to you. dduther@___.com

THANKS for writing and emailing Senior Connects. We’re
sorry that we could only include a fraction of the many great emails

of your questions and try our best to meet your requests!
Sincerely,
The Senior Connects Team
