Hello
to all SeniorNet members.
Would
you like to create personalised Xmas
Presents using your own photos.
Make
greeting cards, Calendars, canvas
prints, put your photos onto a Mug or
make your own photo book about an event,
family members, a holiday or a record of
your achievements. With Christmas
coming up there are plenty of things you
can make as gifts using your own photos.
The
use of SNAPFISH
is a suggestion.
Using
their templates, adapting them to fit
your wishes, you can design gifts/
mementoes quickly and for reasonable
prices, specials are advertised
regularly and these are particularly
good value.
Your
creation is emailed to Snapfish with
payment and the item is posted back to
you within a short space of time (less
than a week) but don’t leave it too
long with Christmas coming up it may
take a little longer.
Tuesday
20th November @ 10am is our
next meeting at Kelston Community
Centre.
Grant
Stevens is our speaker and he always has
lots on interesting IT stuff to
talk about.
As
this is our last meeting for the year we
will be having a Xmas morning tea
afterwards so please come and join us.
Come
and learn about Cyber Security
and how you can protect yourself from
Cyber Attacks and Data Breaches.
Michaela
will be taking a Workshop in conjunction
with Westpac Bank on Wednesday 28th
November from 2pm – 3pm
in
our premises at the Henderson RSA.
The
workshop will be free but you still need
to book so phone Pam on 827 2156
(answerphone available)

Seniornet
West Auckland also offers the following classes on a regular
basis if requested by three or more:
Word
processing at various levels from basics to levels 1, 2 and
3,
Libre
Office, ipad,
Excel.
For current members of SeniorNet we have
new name cards that have a barcode printed on them that
can be scanned when purchasing goods from Noel Leaming.
We get a percentage of the cost of goods sold
through this company which goes towards running SeniorNet
around the country. We therefore need to make sure that
every sale is charged as such and not just put on the Gold
Card which has been happening.
We will have the cards at the Learning
Centre in the Henderson RSA and they can be picked up on
our Help Days on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month.
SeniorNet is not currently getting funding from the
Government so your support with this is very much
appreciated.
If you would like to do a refresher on any of our
courses they are $10 cheaper than the original one, you
just need to bring your original notes with you.
Let Pam
know (09- 827 2156) and she will advise
you of a date.
