One-on-one Technology Assistance Sessions

CAH is excited to be offering members only one-on-one technology assistance sessions. They will be held in our Cambridge office between the hours of 10am and 2:30pm.

BeTechy, a group of Harvard Business School students, are offering personal 30-minute sessions to CAH members. They will be here to assist you with your laptops, iPads, iPods, smartphones, Kindles, basic e-mail and Microsoft Office functions. They are also equipped to aid you in the usage of social media sites including Facebook and Twitter, as well as Skype (so that you will be capable of communicating easily with long-distance family and friends!)

A non-refundable fee of $15 is required for each 30 minute session. Please call our office at 617-864-1715 to schedule and hold your meeting time. When doing so, be sure to let us know which device you would like assistance with, and/or the computer type (Mac or PC) if you are seeking computer support.

CAH Walking Group: Out and About!

The CAH walking group has been exploring the area together, while staying fit, for several years now. The group meets twice monthly, venturing on exciting walks through a variety of local sites and communities. These outings are led by Dick Joslin, one of CAH's most active volunteers. Dick recently led an invigorating walk through MIT's Cambridge campus, commentating along the way on his knowledge of the outdoor sculpture and impressive architecture. Other recent notable walks were the Boston holiday walk through many of downtown Boston's vibrant neighborhoods, as well as the group's most recent walk following Julia Child's footsteps in Cambridge. In honor of the famous chef's 100th birthday, the group began in Harvard Square, visited her home as well as other pertinent sites. The CAH walking group is an excellent way to stay healthy and active while enjoying local points of interest in the company of friends.

Siting Julia: Julia Child Centenary Exhibition

On Wednesday, February 20th, Cambridge at Home joined forces with Beacon Hill Village for a special visit to the Schlesinger Library at Harvard for "Siting Julia; Julia Child Centenary Exhibition." This exhibition traced Julia's path to becoming one of the most well-known chefs in the world, and documented her travels with husband Paul and their adventures and work in locations such as Paris, Germany, Norway, Cambridge, and the Maine Coast. Members participated in a discussion with Marylene Altieri, Curator of Books and Printed Materials, and then viewed the exhibition. This was followed by a lovely lunch at the Sheraton Commander's Nubar restaurant.
