TRICIA PYE on INTERNET CONNECTION AND SECURITY

Tricia Pye is from The Tec Exec, a local business that provides training and support in digital technology. For the last six years she has been running community sessions across southern NSW for anyone who wants to feel safer and more confident using technology and the internet.

Tricia is providing training to local community groups in online digital and social media training sessions so bring your phone or tablet to your Rotary meeting for a Cyber Security checkup. 



INTERNET CONNECTION AND SECURITY

1 in 4 people in Australia continue to be digitally excluded, not having the technology, internet connection, skills or confidence to access the digital world. This issue is higher in regional communities and is exacerbated by natural disasters and emergency situations.

The Tech Exec has been part of the Good Things Foundation's network of community partners for over six years and in that time has delivered digital inclusion support to many people in regional areas. Tricia Nye has been instrumental in delivering much of this training.

Tricia also had an idea to test the Starling satellite internet for regional areas to improve performance and to ensure access to communication during disasters. A new initiative, SkyFi satellite access points, aims to help vulnerable people connect and learn in regional and remote locations, especially where there are large numbers in training sessions and in the event of an emergency.

GROVER GREENFIELD on RATS

Image
If you are looking for a talk for your local Rotary Club that is a bit different and will be talked about, then this may be it. Grover Greenfield will design a talk for you about rats. Grover has been a rat enthusiast since a very early age and now consults on animal ethics. This may be a great introduction to the world of rats. GROVER GREENFIELD AND RATS Anywhere rats are involved, you'll likely find Grover too! They have had rats as pets since age 13, and they have become a true passion. When Grove's health conditions progressed to the point where they could no longer continue their role as a research scientist, they found themselves with extra time to help pet rats and their owners who fell through the gaps of the animal rescue world. One thing led to another, and before long "Rachie's Ratirement Home" was born, an animal shelter specialising in the surprisingly popular domestic rat. The rescue has been nationally recognised as one of the best animal rescues in...
