Invitation to our Annual General Meeting
We are holding our AGM on Tuesday 1 May and would love to see you there. At the meeting, we will outline our activities over the past year, and present our financial statements.
7:00 pm Tuesday 1 May
Kohimarama Presbyterian Church
34 Kohimarama Rd4 Kohimarama Rd
After the formal meeting, we have 3 speakers who will present updates on topics of real interest to our community:
Our local Councillor Desley Simpson will be updating us on the outcomes of the Council's 10 year Budget consultation, including what impact this will have on our rates, and how the extra money raised will address some of the city's problems.
Alan Minson, one of our committee members will talk about our rat catching programme
John La Roche from the Eastern Songbird Project, will explain this project and how it is intended to complement the predator-free islands in the Hauraki Gulf
Kit Parkinson, the Orakei Local Board Deputy Chair, will discuss plans to further improve Kepa Bush.
__
We will be electing a Committee to run the Association, and while most of the current Committee Members are standing for re-election, we would welcome new people to keep us moving forward. Generally, there is not a lot of work involved, although this does depend on the nature of issues that we deal with, and who chooses to be involved in specific issues. We meet monthly for an hour or so to discuss new and ongoing issues, and various members are assigned roles with respect to some of the issues raised. These roles could be as simple as writing a letter, undertaking a mail drop, or for those interested, leading our efforts on a major issue. Generally, the degree of time you put in and the areas you want to be involved in are up to you.
So if any of you would like to be involved and join the Committee, please just let us know by return email with your name, address and contact phone number. Alternatively, we accept nominations from the floor on the night.
Best regards
Don Stock
Chair
Mission Bay Kohimarama Residents Association Inc.
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
