REGIONAL MATTERS<br />
NOTES from the Regional Council Meeting of 6 th May<br />
It was decided that it is timely to organise a fast broadband service at the<br />
Bayswater Hall. This will facilitate meetings held there, the pending<br />
Founding Day service (where we are hoping to create a Skype video link with<br />
Sydney) as well as providing internet access for the Heritage Room and the<br />
German School. Wireless access to the connection can also be made<br />
available to any member who has a use for it out there – contact me at the<br />
Office for details.<br />
The TSA has now subscribed for a ‘Premium Service’ with Skype, which<br />
means multiple users (rather than just 2) can make use of a Skype video<br />
connection for meetings. These do not necessarily need to be conducted<br />
from TSA premises and may be useful to any of our Focus and Interest<br />
Groups – once again, contact me at the Office for details.<br />
Still on the internet theme, we have heard that the Federal Budget extended<br />
funding for the continuation of the ‘Broadband for Seniors’ program. This<br />
means we will be able to continue with the subsidised Kiosks we have. The<br />
one in Bentleigh is open whenever the Office is open – any member is<br />
wel<strong>com</strong>e to make use of it anytime. Access to the Bayswater Kiosk is by<br />
arrangement with either Tony Beilharz or Martina Eaton – not quite as<br />
convenient, but I’m sure Tony and Martina will make it as easy as possible.<br />
I mentioned last month that Mary-Anne Peters was to be our new cleaner in<br />
Bentleigh. That did not transpire and I’m pleased to advise that Monika<br />
Imberger put her hand up for the job and has taken it on.<br />
