I am seeking help for the Bowen community technology Centre. This organisation has provided technological help and a community space for 15 years for East Orange residents. They have an array of free computers and printing. There is a homework chart on the wall where children can accumulate stars and then chocolates after doing their homework! Assistance can be given with resumes and other forms. Council provides a rent-free space and free power and water but everything else is done by volunteers who are there five days a week.

They have recently received a bill for essential software and security licences that they need to keep computers safe but they need some help to pay.

I caught up with Paula Townsend, the Orange woman of the year 2024, yesterday and she was happy if I publicised a go fund me page for these costs. The amount they are seeking is a pretty achievable $2800. I have recommended she apply for a council small donation and provided the forms but some help from the community would go a long way as well. If you could contribute please do

Another less exciting event yesterday was my completing an ‘Essentials for local government councillors’ webinar run by the Australian Institute of Company directors. I bring it up as I think professional development is quite important for councillors who have no minimum qualifications needed to be elected. Despite this there is quite a variation over whether CPD is done or not amongst our group. The course was interesting enough and didn’t even cost council any money for me to attend!
