The card can be obtained at the Senior Citizen C enter. The process takes about 5 minutes and requires identification such as a driver’s license. We usually have non-residents attending as guest speakers or panelists. If you would be available as a panelist\, let me kn ow and tell the attendant at the door that you are a panelist.\n\nI hope y ou are all well. Welcome to our third meeting continuing our meetings at t he Huntington Senior Center on Thursday\, November 17th at 1:30 PM in Room 214. And we will attempt to continue at the same time and location on a m onthly basis. Our room is at least twice as big as 205.\n\nOur last meetin g of the year will be on Thursday\, December 15th at 1:30 PM.\n\nPlease co nfirm your interest in continuing as a member of our group\, whether you w ill attend the 11/17 meeting\, your preferred email address and any other information about your interests. Also mention anyone else you know who wa s a member or would like to join us. I am going through our prior sign in sheets as well. I am a bit rusty and slower and need assistance in continu ed organizing.\n\nA current area of interest is Robotics and Automation. S everal of us have organized an LI Chapter of the IEEE Robotics and Automat ion Society and we have purchased several educational robots. We put on se veral robotics workshops for children at the Harborfields Library and we p lan to bring them to other libraries. When mentioning it to Julia Frangion e\, she thought it would be a great workshop to present to other Seniors a t the Center. It would be in addition to our regular meetings. We can cont inue discussing this at our meetings..\n\nThe agenda I am planning for our meeting is as follows:\n\n1:30-2:00pm – each person attending will spen d very few minutes bringing us up to date on their activities.\n\n2:00-2:3 0pm – we will stream and pause to discuss the third lecture in The Great Courses Series Robotics. An outline of the whole course is attached.\n\n2 :30-3:30pm – We will demonstrate and share operation of the Create3 Robo t.\n\n3:30-4:00pm - – we will evaluate the experience and decide whether to continue in future meetings\, or do something else.\n\nWe are consider ing a Zoom connection for those with interest and concern who cannot atten d in person.\n\nI haven’t checked everyone yet\, but I sadly report that we have lost two members and they will be missed. Bob Bozzone and Don Cla rke. If you know of others\, let me know.\n\nFeel free to ask additional q uestions.\n\nThe Huntington Town Senior Citizens Center\, 423 Park Avenue\ , Huntington\, NY 11743.
