Fujitsu, the market leader in document imaging scanners, today announced it will host an event with the San Francisco Tech Council to advance a senior learning initiative. Fujitsu, the Community Living Campaign and the San Francisco Tech Council (SF Tech Council) will team up to host a “Preserving Memories” event on Saturday, October 21, 2017 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. PT with the help of student volunteers from Lick-Wilmerding High School.Volunteers from Fujitsu, the SF Tech Council, the Community Living Campaign and Lick-Wilmerding High School will work with local seniors and use Fujitsu ScanSnap Scanners to familiarize seniors with new technology.
Older adults are encouraged to bring physical copies of memories including photos, birth and marriage certificates, deeds, handwritten letters, love notes, recipes and even three-dimensional family heirlooms to the event. Together with the help of a student volunteer “buddy,” seniors will create digital scrapbooks they can take home and share digitally with friends and loved ones.
“We’re thrilled to work with the SF Tech Council to put on this wonderful event,” said Alexandria Rumpanos, Fujitsu business development and partner alliance manager. “At Fujitsu’s ScanSnap division, we are dedicated to using innovative technology to connect people. This initiative helps to close the generation gap, and we’re excited to have the students from Lick-Wilmerding High School join us for a day of making new friends, learning new skills and creating digital memory books that will last a lifetime.”
The event will be held at On Lok’s 30th Street Senior Center at 225 30th St., San Francisco, CA 94110. The SF Tech Council chose 30th Street Senior Center for their popular computer lab and variety of activities in their ongoing Seniors and Technology Initiative.“It is a great honor to have Fujitsu join us in encouraging local seniors to get first-hand experience with technology.
We are passionate about teaching older adults to use tech tools that enhance the things that are most important to them, especially when it comes to family and other loved ones,” said Marie Jobling, Director of the Community Living Campaign and a member of the SF Tech Council.Those interested in attending the event can sign up at the reception desk at the 30th Street Senior Center.
