FEDERATION RESEARCH DOCUMENT

The Federation was able to gain some funding from The Lotteries Grants Board to carry out an in depth survey of members. This research has now been published. A copy of the final report is available on www.seniornet.co.nz – you will see a “Research Report” tab on the home page.

The report confirms the Federation and its Learning Centres provide an extremely valuable service to the community of New Zealand with the quality teaching it performs and sets out a platform on which to move forward.

We encourage members to read - or at least glance through the topics. As it is an extremely thorough report of some 50 odd pages a quick summary is provided by a short PowerPoint presentation which highlights the key points. We have a hard copy at the Centre for anybody interested but please leave this at the Centre for others to read.

A REGIONAL MEETING, AND EXPO AND A TIP

FEDERATION REGIONAL MEETING

A Federation Regional Meeting was hosted by Porirua SeniorNet this week to which 50 people attended including 9 from Hutt City. It was as usual a very interesting day with another great presentation from Grant Sidaway and many topics discussed and debated. A full report will be in the next newsletter.

EXPO

We were again present at the Hutt Valley Health and Well Being Expo along with 40 others. We thank those members who volunteered to help us on the day to highlight SeniorNet to those in the valley. It was a well attended day and we look forward to another Expo next year.
