'Be Connected' - from 'drop in' sessions to 'summer school'

2/12/2018

0 Comments

 
Our ‘Drop In’ sessions for members keen to finish additional ‘Be Connected’ modules with support from our mentors continued in November with most participants now confident of being able to draw upon Be Connected modules to meet future learning needs. 

Be Connected is continuing in January next year as a ‘summer school’ on Wednesdays 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th January from 10 to 11am, with each session followed by a catch up coffee and chat.   Come along to work on Be Connected modules with support from Jenny Sawyer and mentors. 

We would like to thank Jenny Sawyer for delivering Be Connected and the upcoming Summer School.  Jenny’s enthusiasm knows no bounds! 

We would also like to thank Margaret Jenkins for her work in accessing funding via the Be Connected program, monitoring progress and results and assisting Jenny with report backs to Be Connected.  These funds have been put to excellent use in enabling our office and meeting room computers to be updated.  Margaret’s work on the Benalla Age Friendly committee has also resulted in three new iPads which will be made available to members in next January’s summer school. 

Thanks also to the ‘Be Connected’ mentors, Marg Jenkins, Helen Jeffree, Pat Treleaven and Margaret Walshe and – last but not least - thanks to ‘Be Connected’ participants for their interest, patience and preparedness to help each other out.
