Earlier this year U3A Benalla participated in the Building Digital Skills in Regional Areas Pilot, a joint initiative run by Good Things Foundation Australia and Wesfarmers, with our On Target digital skills program. Through the On Target program, we supported Benalla residents to learn how to use technology for everyday tasks, like shopping online and scanning QR codes. The program has made a great difference to those who participated, with many feeling motivated and excited to use their new skills at home.

That means there are about 145 members who have not had the opportunity to have their Covid-19 Immunisation status recorded on our database.
As you will be aware, it is now mandatory for U3A Benalla members attending U3A activities to produce evidence of being Covid-19 Fully Vaccinated. Unvaccinated persons are unable to attend classes or other U3A activities. In preparation for 2022 it would streamline the enrolment process if we could have the vaccination status of members recorded as soon as possible. Once recorded on our database all 2022 rolls and other records will show your Covid-19 vaccination status as ‘YES’ if you are fully vaccinated. I will be sending individual emails to those members who have not yet presented their vaccination certificates to their coordinator for recording. It will ask you to respond to the email, with a copy of your COVID-19 digital certificate attached. Your Covid-19 immunisation record will then be amended to ‘YES’ for all future programs. Please send response email to len.benalla@gmail.com. If you are one of the 17 members without email and have not presented your Covid-19 certificate to your coordinator, you could drop a copy to my home address at 108 Thomas Street Benalla and I will update your record. If you are unable to respond, as above, you will need to show a copy of your Covid-19 certificate on enrolment day in January 2022. Thanks for your cooperation. Len Jeffers |
