Greetings everyone
The year has started off at a hectic pace with two parallel “Getting started courses” running. The sad thing is that with the retirement of two long-serving tutors we are very stretched to be able to cater for our new members. Hence we have had to declare our beginners courses closed from now on, and recommend that people go to the libraries to get basic tuition. We do have two tutors “in the wings” and we look forward to their further involvement in beginners’ courses in the near future.
It is vital that we have more tutors and assistant tutors to keep our education programme running. Please consider how you can assist here. We have all benefited in the past from the courses we have done - knowledge gained and new skills learned. Now is the time when you are really needed to “give something back”.
We send our retirees, Annette Bierre and Liz Watson, our very best wishes for their future plans, and thank them most sincerely for the years of dedicated service and expert teaching that they gave us.
Graham Wright will lead the March discussion session, and our thanks go to him for his enthusiastic participation in the education programme.
Committee has approved the suggestion that attendees at our “free” sessions (monthly meeting and discussion group) make a gold coin donation towards refreshments and other expenses.
Please remember to bring and wear your membership label when attending SeniorNet activities.
Situation vacant – the committee wonders if there is a member who would like to take on the job of cleaning our rooms at 75 Felton Mathew Avenue. We envisage the job being done weekly, and think it should not take longer than an hour. A remuneration will be made. If you are interested please contact Jay at jayvenables@xtra.co.nz
Wanted – if you have a vacuum cleaner, surplus to requirement in good working order, please contact Jay – to sell or donate.
As I pointed out last month, this year will mark the tenth anniversary of the formation of SeniorNet Eastern Bays. We need to celebrate this, probably some time towards the middle of the year. If you have any ideas for a suitable occasion, the committee would be pleased to hear of it.
I wish to give plenty of notice that I will be unavailable for re-nomination as Chairperson at the Annual General Meeting in June. We do not want to be in the situation again that we were last year with no nomination – please give this your serious consideration.
Take care
