Get On Line Week - Overview of Be Connected and a BBQ Lunch

29/8/2024

We will be holding a Get Online Week function on Wednesday 16 October. An Overview of the Be Connected Program which U3A Benalla have been involved with since 2016 will commence at 11.30 am after Meet and Mingle’s morning tea. This presentation will be followed by a BBQ Lunch outside under the veranda of the Benalla Seniors building. The Ukulele group are going to entertain us during lunch.

Please bring anyone who would benefit from Digital Instruction so that they can find out about the programs we have on offer. Ruth Jelliff, Jenny Sawyer and Robyn Lukey will all be attending.

'Be Connected'

*Be Connected is U3A Benalla's response to an Australian Government initiative comprising online learning modules which help to make the most out of being online.

U3A Benalla's involvement with 'Be Connected' and 'The Good Things Foundation' results in links to resources and funding opportunities, including for a 'Get Online' event in October each year.
