​Great news! U3A Benalla has been awarded a Community Engagement Grant worth $1,500 by the Good Things Foundation which runs the ‘Be Connected’ digital literacy program. The teaching of digital literacy is important for people who have had little or no contact with computers during their working lives. It can help connect family and friends through Emails and the sending of photos.  Increasingly we are finding that business wants to communicate and send accounts also by Email.
 
In Semester 2 U3A Benalla is offering a ‘Be Connected’ Introduction to the Internet Course for U3A members and other members of the Benalla community aged 55 years or older.  We are celebrating our new course and involvement with ‘Be Connected’ with a one off sausage sizzle luncheon at 12 noon on Wednesday 3 July.  Using our overhead projector we will outline the ‘Be Connected’ course which follows  the barbecue at 2 pm, then weekly each Wednesday at 2 pm during second semester.

Council have installed Solar Panels on the building and will update the lighting at the building in the next few weeks. When I know the dates I will let the Conveners it may impact know.  

The Program Committee have finalised the Semester 2 timetable, which is attached to this newsletter and included on the website.

I understand there have been a few complaints about members not hearing their convenors. Any Convenor who would like to use the microphone and needs a run through on its use can ring me 0412 263 071
