The message that was sent on Saturday 3rd Dec:

You are receiving this (blind copy) email as one of the current or past supporters of the Kapiti Coast WEA.

As many of you are probably already aware, funding constraints, and the resignation of our administrator (to enable her to seek full-time employment), means that we are currently not preparing a full semester programme for January to June 2012. One or two of your favourite programmes may still be run, depending on interest, so please do keep an eye on our web site, http://www.kapitiwea.org.nz/, particularly the January to June Courses, and the What's Changed link (our blog: http://kcwea.blogspot.com/),  for such information.  Any changes to this, or individual programmes being run, will be publicised on the web pages, in our blog, and with fliers nearer the time.
NB Matthew Trundle is not available in 2012


As our last course for the year is now running, our Office is closed until further notice,  but our email, mail and the answerphone, are all still being monitored regularly.


Should you wish to contact us with suggestions for a particular course that you think would generate sufficient interest, or even be prepared to run and coordinate such a course, please do contact us.
There is a Contact form on the web site (http://www.kapitiwea.org.nz/ContactUs.php), or you could send us the details using email,  post, or by slipping them under the office door.
All expressions of interest welcome, particularly from anyone wishing to become our (volunteer) Administrator.

Thank you for your support,
