We are saying “Goodbye” to Elaine our Enrolment Coordinator

We wish Elaine a fond farewell this week! Elaine has been an excellent Enrolment Coordinator at SeniorNet Kapiti for a number of years. Elaine’s contribution has been second to none and she has been a fantastic help in other areas of SeniorNet too.

Elaine, we say a fond farewell (Haere rā or Totsiens) and we will miss you dearly.

To Elaine I say, enjoy the move and it’s all about attitude and you have that in bucket loads

SeniorNet Kapiti, are reviewing how we can be of assistance to the community

There are many areas where we can partner with other organisations to be of service to the community, and we are keen to help out further in that area.

SeniorNet Kapiti has ongoing community support from Paraparaumu Library and Westpac (one of our sponsors). In particular, we are looking at various technology items that the Library ‘loans’ out to organisations. Westpac are interested in offering sessions on scams and banking to assist with the overall experience for our members. We are looking at dates and the opportunity to bring these sessions to the Learning Centre in the near future.

SCAMS – the Little Black Book

At SeniorNet Kapiti we are hearing of an upsurge in scams. Our members tell us they are coming via phone calls, text, emails and even door to door! This book will give you information to help identify scams and to help you stay safe. You can also contact, CertNZ or Netsafe to help you with further information.

Please Support our Sponsors

Please don’t forget to support our National sponsors – they’re important to SeniorNet and help us at the local level in many ways, including offering discounts to our members.

Always show your membership card and ask if there’s a discount for SeniorNet members – you might be rather surprised!

The best example is Noel Leeming where the SeniorNet discount extends well beyond computers to everything in their store but please be insistent that they scan your barcode before they give you a price!

Suzuki has recently reconfirmed their offer to our members of free on-road costs on new vehicles so it always pays to ask.

There are more details about the individual sponsorships on the Federation’s website here
