Host an event in observance of Neighborhood Networks Week 2009 Get Connected Day

On Wednesday, August 5, Neighborhood Networks observes Get Connected Day as part of Neighborhood Networks Week 2009 (August 3 - 8). On Get Connected Day, centers are encouraged to highlight the many ways they deliver technology access and enhance residents' technological skills, as well as showcase the critical role technology plays in today's society. Centers may choose to host tours of their computer labs, offer a basic Internet workshop, or have residents, young and old, lead basic computer skills training workshops.

The Neighborhood Networks Week Event Planning Guide offers a variety of event ideas and tips for planning a successful Get Connected Day event. A copy of the guide will be available soon to be downloaded from the Neighborhood Networks Web site, or you can request a copy by calling the Neighborhood Networks Information Center toll-free at (888) 312-2743. The hearing impaired may access the number via TTY by calling the Federal Information Relay Service at (800) 877-8339.
