Hello everyone, 

SeniorNet Kapiti Honour the late Queen Elizabeth II

SeniorNet Kapiti Inc., among other charitable organisation’s, wish to honour the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

Queen Elizabeth II, had an extraordinary reign, which has seen her travel more widely than any other monarch, undertaking many historic overseas visits. Known for her sense of duty and her devotion to a life of service, she has been an important figurehead for the UK and the Commonwealth during times of enormous social change.

We welcome King Charles III, who immediately succeeded his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. Our condolences to the Royal family for their loss.

OE! Over the last month my grandchildren were in Turkey, Belgium and Paris. Which has given our grandchildren even more energy to travel further afield! Well, this time they are in Marseilles, what a trip they are having! We are still enjoying their summaries of the adventure they are on. Also the great photos they are sharing ‘online’, so no need to email them these days!

From the Chair

I hope you’re all enjoying your new-found freedom under COVID-19 Level 2 and that you’ve been able to hook-up with family and friends again. It certainly reminds me how important daily routines and interactions with other people are to us all.

Things have been busier than ever at SeniorNet with a whole raft of online Workshops being run during (and beyond) Lockdown. Without exception, they’ve proven popular with our members and I suspect a welcome distraction from one’s own company! Over 300 people have taken part in Zoom Meetings since we started back in late March.

Our Committee met last Thursday and it’s been agreed that The Learning Centre will remain closed for the next few weeks. Taking into account all the complex factors, we’ve scheduled to reopen for onsite Courses and Workshops in Term 3 and planning is already underway to ensure a safe environment for everyone attending.
