Speed up your computer with a Solid State Drive (Not for Apple Computers)
George Barna is willing to replace a laptop hard disk drive with a Solid State Drive (SSD) and transfer all your data for $45 plus the cost of the SSD. It will cost slightly more for the same 'surgery' on a Desktop PC as George will need to visit your home. All proceeds will go to Wellington SeniorNet. Unfortunately this offer does not include Apple computers.
SSDs are considerably faster than a hard drive, very reliable and have come down significantly in price. If you are interested contact George at georgebarna0@gmail.com to find out what is involved.

Office Volunteer Needed
We are looking for new people to help in the office for two hours once a week or once a fortnight from 10am until 12 noon. The main duties are to answer the phone and to give a friendly greeting to any visitors to the office and occasionally helping to keep the place tidy (kitchen, small office etc.). If you can do data entry or are willing to learn, that would be a bonus. We'd be happy to buddy you with someone who can show you all the ropes. If interested, please call Celia Simpson 476 3830 or Peter Hyde 479 3406.
