DROP-IN COMPUTER HELP FOR WAIKANAE RESIDENTS

Sue from Waikanae

Good morning! At Citizens Advice Bureau we see so many Waikanae residents struggling with technology but also with transport to get to computer classes outside Waikanae, and so we are collaborating with Simon and Martine at KCDC Libraries and with the lovely volunteers at SeniorNet and the Cameo Pop-in Centre to run some computer classes in Waikanae - this coming Monday and the next to start with -

We are so excited! Please could you let people who are struggling with technology know about these drop-in sessions at the Cameo for the next couple of weeks?

If they are struggling with their computer or iPad or mobile phone Paraparaumu Library staff are coming to the Cameo Pop-in Centre on Monday 4th and Monday 11th April between 1030am and 1230pm to help so bring in your own devices or learn a bit about computers on the ones at the Cameo rooms - emails, facebook - just about anything you can think of.

These are drop-in sessions so come into Mahara Place, Waikanae (next door to the Professionals) and let us help you - ring Sue on 0275 999 823 if you want to know more.

Please pass the word around - we are aiming at residents who won't be using social media so we'll advertise on the radio and "what's on" as well, but word-of-mouth is the best of all -

Thank you so much 😊😊😊

Driven On The Akatarawa Rd Lately?

Marie from Waikanae

If so, its good to know you are still alive and reading this.

We have a function to go to over Christmas up that way and having heard a few hairy stories about the road, I went up there on Thursday to check it out. The road's ok, narrow and winding, but not much worse than a Wellington hill suburb. What was pretty scary was the behavior of other drivers. Three vehicles heading the other way at speed would have crashed into me if I hadn't been pulled off the road. I had pulled in to check the address when a truck came flying past, taking up all of the narrow road at speed. There is no way the driver would have been able to stop had they come around the corner immediately in front of me. The other two drivers came hurtling past as I had turned in to turn around and come back down the hill. They were also driving at speed and taking up most of the road. Coming back down I passed another car coming up and estimate that the safe speed to pass another car was about 30-35 kms.p.h. So, now we're thinking, do we go to the function or not.? Feels a bit like we're taking our life in our hands going up there. Drivers appear to be overconfident, and they are courting serious injury.
