<p class="MsoNormal">We have been receiving questions about GetSetUp and I wanted to make sure the library community in Michigan was aware of the opportunity to expand your virtual programming for older adults via this service. Please see below details about
what is available for your residents from the GetSetUp partnership with MDHHS and LM. GetSetUp classes include a wide variety of topics including live classes on technology, meditation, brain fitness, art, cooking, financial planning, aging in place, and
more. Fees for classes for Michigan older adults are WAIVED using this code: MICHIGANHEALTH while booking a class.<o:p></o:p></p>
