The Rotary Club of Katherine has established the Katherine Rotary Computer Club in order to help people became more proficient with technology. We have received positive support from a cross-section of the Katherine community - and we are grateful to our sponsors - see below.
Rotary Clubs do what they can to raise money for their community and for needy causes in other places. Our Rotary Club has a lot of teachers and educators so that is where our strength lies.
We see this as a service to anyone who wants to learn the new all-embracing digital technology skills that in today’s world we just can’t be without - particularly our seniors.
So if you want to know which type of computer suits your requirement, or you have mobile and/or tablet but can’t utilise some of the amazing resources or apps, or even if you have a computer and need help using it… we are here for you.
The training room is being renovated. Grateful thanks to James Dixon; Jeremy Dixon and Margie Zoetelief for ripping out the old kitchen and benches, cleaning and painting the walls. Massive thanks to 1Set Building and Talias Painting for cleaning and painting the ceiling/roof at no cost. And Custom Cabinets have put in a new kitchen at no cost. Benash have rewired the building.
This has also been made possible by the generosity of the patrons of Katherine Speedway who have bought our steak and sausage sandwiches at 5 race neetings in 2020
Charles Darwin University had offered us 10 laptops that were no longer required.
Our local community are so supportive!

We are very grateful to Katherine Town Council for the donation of three computer towers (i5s) running Windows 10. These are our first computers. Towers are no good without screens, and Coffey, the company that did a lot of work out at RAAF Tindal, donated 7 monitors. Now we are on the lookout for some keyboards and mice. Then we will be able to offer further training opportunities.
