Did you know this special group of SPCA fundraisers have fundraised over $430,000 for SPCA?

Members of SPCA Dog Squad, North Shore Supporters, and the North Shore Dog Squad have spent the last 30 years supporting SPCA by fundraising, fostering and adopting, and began back when the SPCA only had minimal staff and very limited resources.

The Dog Squad is full of four-legged members too, including dalmatians, newfoundlands, spaniels, labradors, and a very special ex-SPCA three-legged dog called Lucy. Most of their fundraising work includes regular barbeques out on the streets with their dogs, so they are DESPERATELY searching for new members with great BBQ skills!

If you are interested in becoming a member of the Dog Squad, please email debbie.madden@spca.nz.

Our SPCA fundraisers like the Dog Squad are more than just people on the streets. They are the backbone of the organisation, and the reason why thousands of animals receive a second chance at a better life. Next time you see them around, stop and share your story. Or better yet... COME AND JOIN THEM! <3

Hi neighbours,

Do you know which outdoor spaces in Auckland are becoming smokefree? Click here to read an explainer on the smoking ban.

The Auckland Council announced on October 19 it was banning smoking at more than 800 cafes, restaurants and bars that use its licensed areas for al fresco dining and drinking. The ban would come into effect as owners renew their licences. By December 31, 2019, all eateries with outdoor dining areas will have the rule in place.

Under the new policy, smoking is also banned at parks, beaches, reserves and other council-owned properties.

So what are your thoughts on the ban? How will it affect you or your business? Let us know your thoughts in the replies below!

IT Contractors - I'm a student looking to finish my homework.

Sorin from Browns Bay

Hi lovely people,

Hi lovely people,

The reason I'm writing to you is a research project I am working on, as part of my MBA. In particular, I am looking at IT contractors, born between 1980 and 2000. The purpose of this project is to understand what motivates millennial IT contractors in New Zealand, as of 2018, at the beginnings of the fourth industrial revolution.

Motivation has no "one size fits all formula". Additionally, multiple studies claim that IT professionals have unique attitudes in regards to job motivation and satisfaction. Moreover, New Zealand lacks such studies.

Understanding the motivational factors of millennial IT contractors will help management professionals to address the issue better and also allow practitioners to understand their position in the industry.

Copy-Paste this link in your web browser to access this survey: massey.au1.qualtrics.com...

Information is collected expressly for the purpose of research and will be collated and presented in a way where no individuals or organisations can be identified.

For any comments or concerns, please contact me or Professor Craig Johnson, Director - Ethics, telephone 063569099 ext 85271, email: humanethics@massey.ac.nz.

If you can get me in touch with any people that match the above description, or forward my request to them, It would be of great help for me and value for New Zealand's IT industry. Also, please feel free to share this message with anyone you think might be able to help.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you,
