Welcome
WELCOME to our first Newsletter for 2007. I hope your holiday period was full of family and fun and that you have fully recovered. Most of us will still be on a mini diet, trying to lose the Christmas kilos....I wish you luck!
Technology and seniors is still a variable mix. Research shows that seniors are constantly left behind if they do not have the skills and the equipment to keep up with changes in communications. Don’t forget that you can learn to use a computer here at the Senior Citizen’ Centre. A volunteer will help you master all the vital tasks at a minimal cost. Computers can be accessed Monday/ Wednesday/ Thursday/ Friday mornings and Monday/ Wednesday afternoons.

LET'S CELEBRATE
International Women’s Day 8th March 2007
Theme: Women at work: Know your rights, it’s your future.
This theme encourages women to be proactive in gaining knowledge about their workplace rights, protecting fair standards and practices and improving the status of women in the workplace. It reflects the history of the women’s movement and the origins of IWD, drawing a connection between the historical struggle for workplace equity and rights for women and the current status of women in the workforce.
The dedicated IWD web pages (www.women.qld.gov.au/iwd) allow you to: View and add a story to:
Women at work - a pictorial journey
Take a pictorial journey through the lives of Queensland women whose working lives have changed radically since they won the vote in 1905. Each decade provides historical facts, photographs, social, cultural and political influences of the day relevant to the theme at work.
You can plot the expanding opportunities for women forged through protest and their ability. You can also contribute to the timeline by adding your own story, of a woman in your family or you could coordinate a school or community contribution.
I believe I have no prejudices whatsoever. All I need to know is that a man is a member of the human race. That’s bad enough for me.

The Oracle is a programme funded by Disability Services Queensland that provides the local news from the Fraser Coast Chronicle and Herald, on audio tape, weekly for any person who cannot read.
Volunteers read, duplicate and distribute the tapes weekly. The tapes are sent through the mail post free. Clients return the tapes by dropping them into a post office or post box.
Clients need only register their name and postal address with Barbara - 4123 1554 - for the service to be put into place. The first tape will be in the mail the following week.
Because print disabled people are not going to be able to read these instructions, please help them by telling them about the service. There are only 2 criteria for anyone who wishes to have the service
- Must be unable to read for any reason
- Must be interested in the news items written about in the local papers.
