CHRISTMAS FUNCTION

The first members Christmas function was held today with about 100 attending. We thank those who came, the guy in the red suit (thanks Noel), those who contributed towards the spot prizes as well as the organisers with special thanks to Raewyn.

We hope it will become an annual event.

While all this has been going on, the background people, particularly the Technical Team, have continued their hard work. They have, after overcoming various impediments, finally obtained the Vista/Office 2007 Suite and are now busy with installation and moving the PC's in Room 1 to a dual boot system to manage our XP-Vista requirements. They have also been writing/testing the new Computer Skills Course and demonstrating our Database plus other aspects of our operations and systems such as VNC, to Upper Hutt SeniorNet.

NEWSLETTER CHANGES

The latest Newsletter has been posted and in it we advise a major change. From now on we will send out our Newsletter by email. With over 80% now on email this will save us money, let us send out a more timely version and importantly enable more efficient use of our resources (volunteers) as one of our ongoing problems has been getting enough people to
volunteer to send out the Newsletter.
We will meantime contine to have a print copy for those not on email but a hard copy is expensive and time consuming.

As it is our volunteers who keep the Centre going we would like to THANK YOU all for your help and support during the year.
