Butte's Belmont Center alive with activity in April

Thursday the Belmont will be offering the AARP Driving Course which will start at 9am and is full of information helpful to all drivers. Do you have questions about your cell phone, computer or notebook? Let's face it, if you need help there is not an online tutorial in the world that can compete with a 1 on 1 sit-down session with an actual human being and that's exactly what they'll be doing with "Tech Tips" on April 18. April 25 will be "Craft Circle" with Lorisa. On the 26th, Tech Nurses will be on hand and remember that they have blood pressure screenings on Fridays at 11am.
