SeniorNet Kapiti Open Days Coming Up this Saturday and next Tuesday
SeniorNet Kapiti, in conjunction with KCDC and Te Wiki Kaumatua, is running two Open Days to showcase how SeniorNet can help older members of the community deal with IT challenges.
Do you (or a friend, neighbour or family member) sometimes struggle to cope with your laptop, PC, smart phone or tablet? Are you still nervous about signing up for Internet Banking or any of the many other services that we are now encouraged (required?) to access electronically?
Maybe you've never done much computing and need to start with the basics? Or are you a regular user and just want to learn how to get the most out of your device or stay up-to-date with new developments?
We deal with these issues all the time at SeniorNet and our friendly tutors are always willing to go the extra mile to help. With a comprehensive programme of courses and workshops coming up in Term 4 2022, now is a good time to get started!
If you or someone you know could do with some IT help, please come along to our Learning Centre at 200 Matai Road, Raumati Beach between 11.00 and 2.00 pm on Sat 8th or Tues 11th Oct and talk to one of our tutors about how SeniorNet can help.
We would love to see you. You can find more information at kapiti.seniornet.nz

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
