Cancellation of End of Year Activities
SeniorNet Hawke’s Bay Inc.
Temporary Closure of Mary Doyle (Nimon House).
SeniorNet H.B apologizes to members for the disruption to our end of term activities, created by an outbreak of the highly contagious Norovirus Infection in Nimon House, the home of our Learning Center. It is highly unlikely that entry will be possible before this coming weekend.
Reluctantly Windows 10 (all 3 classes), the final Android for Beginners class and the Members Social Day have had to be postponed. These activities will be repeated early in the New Year so keep an eye out for our New Year Newsletter. We ask that members re-register for the Windows 10 classes if the new dates are suitable. Your payment will be carried forward.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
