THE MISSION
Senior Computer Associates' mission is to bring senior citizens of the Greater Latrobe Area into the computer world through education and computers.
The mission started in 1998 with computers given to the Latrobe Senior Center by the Latrobe Brewery. A computer class for seniors was started by John Senko with the assistance of Mickey Radman. At the present time there are three computer classes running at the Latrobe Senior Center and one each at the Adams Memorial Library and the Unity Branch of Adams Memorial Library. Over 700 seniors, men and women, husbands and wives and several physically challenged have graduated from the classes. A free computer by the Associates is provided to all who wanted a computer.
The long range goal of the Associates is to have a computer in every household in the Greater Latrobe Area and to provide Internet access to all. The Associates dream of the entire area having high speed wireless Internet Access at a low cost. The vision is for the Greater Latrobe area to be wired together with the Internet through the Greater Latrobe Community Network (GLCN). The Mission has begun - the vision is taking shape.
