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

29/8/2024

0 Comments

 
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.

A reminder that anyone who is a U3A member can obtain some ‘one on one’ help in operating and using their mobiles, tablets or laptops by booking a time with either Jenny (Apple) 0409 545 182 or Robyn (Android) 0403 164 931.   Meetings are usually held in Meeting Room 2, or the office if the small class isn't available. 

Advice is also available from Bev 0478 607 838 for members who are working on community websites using the Weebly platform we use for our website.  Members Peter Maddock and Anna Smith are pictured here taking a break while working on the Benalla Shorts Film Festival website recently with mentor Bev Lee.

    Managing Money On-line   Our  'Be Connected - Managing Money Online' course in Semester 1 2023 used Be Connected Modules to explore banking online - paying bills, setting up a banking app, using the bank website, checking balances and statements and transferring money.  We also looked at PayPal and making online purchases. This course may be offered again in future.
