Waikato Supper Club 2019
The 4th Annual Waikato Supper Club is coming up on Tuesday, 2 April. This wonderful fundraiser supports Ronald McDonald House Charities (RMHC) New Zealand.
With 9 Supper Clubs across the country, this event offers guests a fabulous night out while supporting a great cause. With some of the top restaurants in the region participating, this event is a fantastic corporate hosting opportunity, or a night out with family, friends and colleagues.
The evening begins with an elegant cocktail party at SKYCITY Hamilton. Guests enjoy delicious drinks and nibbles, while getting the chance to participate in exciting auctions and mystery bags. During the cocktail party, each participating restaurant is drawn out of a ballot and randomly matched with each table of guests. This is the restaurant where they will dine for the evening. Guests travel in provided transport to their chosen restaurant and are served with a delicious meal, created by some of Waikato’s top chefs.
To lock in your table go to: rmhc.org.nz...
As part of the evening we will be offering both silent and live auctions, if you would be able to donate an item, big or small, suitable to be auctioned on the evening. In return for your support, any auction items donated will have the company recognised as the donor via logos on the item listing and on the big screen throughout the night.
Any questions, please email waikato@thesupperclub.org.nz
Thanks in advance for any local support!
What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
