Nominations for the Dawn Johnston Koru Award are now open.
Do you know someone in the local community who has overcome adversity to live a life of serving others?
The Inner Wheel Club of Howick is looking for such a person to present a Dawn Johnston Koru Award to. The inaugural presentation of this award was made last year to Alan Breslau of Half Moon Bay, who survived a horrific plane crash 56 years ago followed by many years in hospital. The award was based on the Inner Wheel theme for 2017/2018 ‘Leave a Legacy’
The spiral shape of the koru, the emblem of the award, signifies new life, positive change, personal growth, harmony, and above all, hope for the future.
Awardees need to have demonstrated self-awareness, resilience, compassion, and a desire to assist others becoming a full contributor to the community.
This is an Annual Award and the successful recipient needs to be a New Zealand citizen residing in the Pakuranga or Botany electorate area. The award is a Koru Trophy to keep and the book ‘Leaving a Legacy’.

If you knows a person who fits the above criteria and would like to nominate that person, please email Julia Castles at iwhowicksecretary@gmail.com with details.
Poll: Should employees be able to work from home?

House/dog sitter for 25th to 29th December
Hey everyone,
We are travelling on the above dates and looking for someone to either house-sit for us or keep our collie at their place. She is 5 years old and one of the most gentle dogs you would have seen. She needs a walk a day, otherwise she is always on her own missions chasing flies and birds.
Let us know if you are keen. TIA.
Thanks,
