Brooklyn Scouts - Shave for a Cure
Kia ora,
We have a Brooklyn Scout, Alex, who would like to support Leukaemia & Blood Cancer NZ by doing Shave for a Cure. Our Kaiārahi (leaders) are also showing their support for this great cause - Joss and David will also be shaving their hair.
Please make a donation on our shave for a cure page to help support this vital cause - (https:/shaveforacure.everydayhero.com/nz/brooklyn-scouts)
David will also allow the highest pledge to shave his head into whatever style they like (though at the end of the night it will all come off!!) So show your support for Alex, David, Joss, and other participants by visiting the pledge page (link above) making a donation. The hair shaving happens Tuesday 22 September at the Brooklyn Scout Hall (between 7pm and 9pm). Please forward this email to those you know to show we care about saving lives.

Solve This Riddle or Be Left Scratching Your Head!
With pointed fangs, I sit and wait;
with piercing force, I crunch out fate.
I grab victims, proclaiming might,
and physically join with a single bite.
What am I?

Celebrating International Volunteer Managers Day
We had a wonderful morning celebrating Te Whanganui-a-Tara volunteer managers at our International Volunteer Managers Day breakfast event.
It was inspiring to bring together local change-makers to discuss this year's theme: 'what's our future normal?' We shared reflections and aspirations for how we can play a role in shaping a stronger and brighter future for the voluntary sector.
Thank you so much to our generous sponsors Lighthouse Cinema, t leaf T, The Candle Shop, Wonderland Chocolate, Zealandia and Oat Cafe.
