HISTORY
The Raleigh SeniorNet Learning Center began
in July of 1996, with funding and equipment provided by Raleigh Community
Hospital (now Duke Raleigh Hospital), IBM, and Bell South Corporations.
In the Summer of 2007, the American Red
Cross agreed to be an additional sponsor and in August we moved our Learning
Center / classroom to the American Red Cross building on N. Peartree
Lane.
During the Summer of 2011, we moved our
Learning Center to the Marsh Creek Community Center on New Hope Road. We
also started working with the City of Raleigh Parks and Recreation Dept.
preparing to move into our new City of Raleigh Senior Center and be the computer
training resource for all Seniors in the Raleigh area.
