Courses Update
The third term begins on Monday 21 July. We still have a few places available for the Courses. Have a look at the Courses Schedule on the menu above, then contact Teresa on 04 298 3132 to enrol in your selected course/workshop.

Guest Speaker – David Stubbs was our guest speaker at our June Q&A. David gave us an interesting insight into his extensive career in IT and illustrated how we can secure specific information by pointing our smart phones at a ‘QR code.’ This is the small square black and white diagram which you see in many printed advertisements. By scanning the ‘QR Code’ with your smart phones you are transferred to the advertiser’s website which you then can see on your smart phone.

Lost property
Members regularly leave items behind at our Learning Centre. We have set up a lost property box; please check in there if you have something missing. At the moment we have a scarf, a brand new laptop bag shoulder strap, a spectacle case and a pair of reading glasses. We have also had a ladies coat that has hung around for months.

Thanks. A very big thank to both Lois Brinck and Erik Thorsing who are retiring from the Committee. Lois has done an excellent job in keeping Tutors informed at her monthly Tutors Meetings and she has made sure that there are Tutors and Assistant Tutors available for all Courses during each term. Lois will still continue as a Tutor.Erik has filled 2 roles during his term on the Committee. He has been a very efficient Treasurer, and as our Webmaster, he has kept us well-informed from his extensive surfing the net for very useful articles, tips and trends.To Lois and to Erik we have certainly valued you contribution to the workings of SeniotNet Kapiti. Thank you
