Open Meeting
21 August Kelston community Centre 10
am
Our guest speaker will be
a lady who will explain the finer details of Internet
Banking. Even if you are already using Internet Banking
as many of our members do, it is always useful to keep
up with the latest security and scams that we need to
avoid.
Feel free to bring a friend, they do not have to be a
member and are always welcome.
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. The
24th is our next one.
SeniorNet is not currently getting funding from the
Government so your support with this is very much
appreciated.
