SUMMARY:Drop-in @ Milano Center\, Melrose
DESCRIPTION:SDM will be at the Milano Center 201 W Foster St\, Melrose\, MA 02176 on the first and third Monday of each month from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm to help people who stop by. While we help people of all ages\, we understand the unique issues of older adults\, and with our close relationship with the Council on Aging in Melrose\, and our close physical proximity\, we felt we could meet more people where they already are by coming to the Center. \n\n\n\nOur focus is on teaching people how to do things\, including how to fix problems they are having. This drop-in time is designed for people with simple questions related to phones\, tablets\, computers\, watches and websites or apps. If we can’t help you during this time because of the complexity of the issue\, or the number of people who drop-in\, we will be able to make an appointment for you for another time at our shop at 406 Main St\, Melrose. \n\n\n\nWe will help people in the order they arrive\, and will triage each issue in order to handle as many as possible. As with all of our appointments\, our services are free. We hope to see you there!

SUMMARY:ShopTalks@SDM With Thatcher Ackerman
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to ShopTalks@SDM. Each meeting will cover a particular topic with a short presentation followed by open discussions.  Advanced registration is required. Group size is limited.  \n\n\n\nFor our November ShopTalk we have SDM staff member Thatcher as our guest speaker. Thatcher will be talking about his business\, Ackerman IT.  \n\n\n\nAckerman IT has been serving home-owners and small\, local businesses in and around Melrose since 2019. Whether it’s fixing your Wi-Fi issue\, or helping a small business get set up\, Thatcher’s goal is the same: make technology work the way it should\, without stress or confusion. In addition to running Ackerman IT\, offering in-home technology support\, Thatcher works for SDM Foundation\, a Melrose-based not-for-profit that offers free technology education for the community. In both roles\, he brings the same patience and practical problem-solving to each new challenge. \n\n\n\nOnline registration closes on Sunday of the week prior to the lesson. After that time\, please contact SDM for availability. This topic can also be discussed at any time in individual sessions. Please call for more information. Cancellation must be at least 48 hours before the lesson begins to avoid further appointment restrictions.
