COTA IT HELP MORNING
There was a happy buzz in the room when the COTA IT help team came to the Club bringing a yummy selection of morning tea goodies and some switched on people to help with our phones, tablets or laptop computers. A steady stream of people came in, sat for their one-on-one help session, and left with a smile and a thumbs up.
If you missed it, COTA offer these sessions by appointment on Wednesday and Friday mornings at the Hughes Community Centre. You can book by phoning 6282 3777. Funding for this program has been provided by the ACT Government and the E-Safety Commissioner.
Also there on the morning were some representatives of the Federal Department of Social Services who came to have a look at how the program was operating, and to be impressed with our Club’s facilities and the activities taking place!
SOME REALLY NICE NEWS
Our choir group have been rehearsing a number of musical programs throughout the Covid-affected past few years, apart from lockdown times, but have not been able to do their usual visits to nursing homes to entertain residents. Now that most restrictions have been lifted, the group has been booked solid for gigs between now and Christmas.
EARLY NOTICE
As is our normal practice, the Club will close for the Christmas break. The last day for 2022 will be Friday 23 December, and we will re-open for 2023 on Monday 16th January. This allows for some of the major maintenance tasks to be completed and we are planning to have new carpet laid in the sitting room, Polly’s office and the verandah around Hall 1.
