COURT HOUSE – Rutgers Cooperative Extension Family and Community Health Sciences (FCHS) Grandparents Raising Grandchildren Support Group will hold a meeting Sept. 23, at 6 p.m. but instead of taking place at the Extension Center, the meeting will be held virtually, via Zoom.
According to a release, the topic for the September meeting is Technology Information and the guest presenter is Ryan Richards, from Atlantic Cape Community College. Richards will provide information to assist grandparents on the effective use of Zoom and Facebook to connect virtually during this challenging time and in the future.
Chris Zellers, FCHS health educator/assistant professor stated, “Virtual meetings have become an important part of the ‘New Normal’ as we try to communicate during COVID-19 and maintain our health and safety.” Zellers added, “Now, more than ever, it is important to keep in touch and up to date, communicate with family, friends, neighbors, church, medical professionals and your child’s teachers. To this end, understanding and learning how to use technology is essential.”
