SeniorNet Kapiti Open Days Coming Up Next Week.
Do you (or a friend, neighbour or family member) sometimes struggle to cope with your laptop, PC, new phone or tablet? Did the Covid-19 lockdown throw up some unexpected IT challenges? Are you still nervous about signing up for Internet Banking or any of the many other services that we are now encouraged (required?) to access electronically?
Maybe you've never done much computing and need to start with the basics? Or are you a regular user and just want to learn how to get the most out of your device?
We deal with these issues all the time at SeniorNet and our friendly tutors are always willing to go the extra mile to help. With a comprehensive program of courses and workshops coming up in Term 3 2021, now is the time to take action!
If you or someone you know could do with some IT help, please come along to Coastlands next Tuesday 27 July between 9am and 4pm; or
Visit the Learning Centre on Saturday 31 July (10am-2pm) at 200 Matai Road, Raumati Beach, and talk to one of our tutors about how SeniorNet Kapiti can help.
We would love to see you. You can find more information at www.kapiti.seniornet.nz...... or email us at: kapiti@seniornet.nz

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
