THE DIGITAL LEGACY presentation.
The Digital Legacy presentation was packed out yesterday with attendees at our Computer Pals for Seniors Northern Beaches venue Lakeview Hall, Tramshed Narrabeen.
A huge thanks must go to Sue Martin OAM, trainer at AVPALS for accepting our club's invitation to present this very important topic to all seniors. We catered for over 80 attendees who enjoyed the refreshments provided after Sue's presentation. Thanks to all our attendees and our Committee for a wonderful meetup and our club couldn't have asked for the most informative, interesting and overall simplified understanding of this important topic Digital Legacy. We were all made aware of what assets we need to manage before our passing.
YouTube video of the Digital Legacy presentation can be seen at the link below.
