Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS), facilitates two community networking platforms; the Pakuranga & Howick Community Networking Meeting and the Botany & Flat Bush & Ormiston Community Networking Meeting.
Both platforms enable community organisations, social services providers, government agencies and the general public a forum to connect and network with each other and to share information about their own activities.
These meetings also provide an opportunity for like-minded individuals and groups operating within the Manukau East locality to form collaborative working relationships.
Community meetings take place 11 times per year. The Pakuranga & Howick Community Networking meeting is held at Te Tuhi in Feb, Apr, Jun, Aug, Oct and Dec and the Botany & Flat Bush & Ormiston Community Networking Meetings is held at the Old Flat Bush School Hall in Mar, May, Jul, Sept and Nov.
Scheduled to take place on a Friday between 1.30pm and 3:00pm, both community meetings begin with a 30 minute speaker presentation, followed by a round-robin of 5 minute introductions and ending with an opportunity to network over a light afternoon tea.
All are welcome. No cost to attend.
Increase your visibility at our meetings by becoming a 5 minute or 30 minute speaker.

Many thanks to Howick Local Board for sponsoring this community event.
