Special  Mention

 

During 1999 Peel Development Commission, in association with the then State Government, and their Casoc (Creating & Sustaining On Line Communities) 2000 Conference being held within the Peel Region  a committee was formed with Mal Bryce (consultant) Greg Williams (Peel Development Commission) and others forming part of the organizing committee and a sub committee was formed in relation to the Seniors component. At the conference Dr Hilda Des Arts (known as the Cyber Granny) from Ipswich Queensland, and head of SeniorNet Australia at that time was one of the key note speakers.

This opened the door for the formation of our Peel SeniorNet.

Achievements

As the first SeniorNet branch to be established in Western Australia, Peel SeniorNet Association has been in demand as advisor to other would-be seniors' online groups in areas such as Kalgoorlie, Albany, Geraldton, Leederville and many other areas in Perth.

The City of Mandurah has been successful in attracting grants and has constructed and fitted out a Computer Training Room as an extension to the existing Ac-cent Mandurah (formerly....... Mandurah Senior Citizens Centre) . Peel SeniorNet is able to use this room on set days for its own training courses..

Peel SeniorNet have over 160 members which is continuing to grow as seniors recognise the value of online communications with their family and friends.

Peel SeniorNet have a very active List Server (email based) that provides a wealth of information, tips, and hints to members.
