EFFECTIVE WAYS OF ENGAGING MEN is Australia’s leading men’s health promotion training program that focuses on how we can more effectively communicate health and wellbeing messages to men and what agencies and organisations need to know about making their services, programs andresources more men friendly to achieve the best possible outcomes for men and boys. The program is for men and women who work in organizations and companies that provide health, welfare, wellbeing or community
services for men and boys.

This course is part of the KMS Men Living Healthy Program and is supported by Bendigo Bank and Blue Mountains City Council

Tutors will need to have a good knowledge of the internet, Gmail and Microsoft Wordpad and be able to provide basic instruction and support for seniors using the kiosk. Tutor support and training materials are all provided.

Initially we be making the kiosk available for about 20 hours a week so we will need at least four or more tutors. So if you think you might be interested in giving us a couple of hours a week please contact Greg on 4758-6552.

Our new Broadband for Seniors internet kiosk is due to be rolled out in March to be ready for use as soon as we open.

Broadband for Seniors is part of a $15m Australian Government initiative to increase the skills of older Australians using computers and the internet.

A Broadband for Seniors kiosk offers the opportunity for our seniors to discover how the web can play a great part in helping you and your fellow members
to stay in touch with friends and family, along with offering access to the wealth of information available online.  This is your chance to find out what all the excitement
is about.

So if you, or someone you know would be interested in learning more about computers and the internet please pay us a visit any Thursday, or
contact us on 4782-7433 (you may need to leave a message).

More information on the Broadband for Seniors initiative can be found at http://www.necseniors.net.au

Christmas Celebration and Barbecue

About 25 men, friends and loved ones attended the Christmas barbecue held at the shed on 17th December.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the day. A special thanks goes to Trevor who organised it all and
to Tim who cooked the meat

Quite a few Kites were made by children visiting the stall and as a special service, low-cost, professional hairdressing was provided by our own James of Sheffield

Well done everyone!

John K works on landscaping at the front of the building

We are fast approaching the day when we can have our Development Application activated by Council.

The Thursday group has completed the guttering and downpipe, the floors are being painted, Peter has been busy working on the workshop layout and John’s been doing the landscaping. We desperately need a small (5ft high) water tank to complete the plumbing.

Top marks to everyone who has contributed to the building renovations!

David assists some budding carpenters with a project

On 22 April KMS manned a woodworking stall at the Mid-Mountains Family Fun Day at Camp Fletcher, Hazelbrook.

The sheddies helped enthusiastic young carpenters build bird boxes, trains, cars, trucks and doll’s furniture. Congratulations to all of those who made the activity such a success. John, Bob, Tim, David, Desley, Trevor & Greg.
