Local support for technology - computers and phones

I am a technology leader with friends and relatives needing help with their computers and phones. We all struggle with technology, but do we have friends and family to help us? Can we count on kind and patient help with simple but frustrating things like Facebook or email? Phones that don't connect properly or laptops that won't save or connect like they use to? We can meet in your neighbourhood at a public place like a library or community centre.
