Noted: The Urban League has put on an IT Academy for seniors the last few years in partnership with UW-Madison Continuing Studies. Anthony got the idea after giving his mom an iPad and watching her connect to friends and family members on social media. (So much so that her grandkids blocked her on Facebook, he joked.) The Urban League also takes senior trips to American Players Theater, with golf carts available to transport patrons up the long hill to the stage.
