Pink Ribbon Appeal Volunteers Needed: 13-14 October 2017
We are desperately short of volunteers to collect for the annual Pink Ribbon Appeal which is happening on Friday 13 and Saturday 14 October. Last year we were only operating at about 60% and I am sure we could do much better. We need more hands to collect and request that you register and ask friends and family to lend a helping hand. Blokes are more than welcome - remember men can contract breast cancer too.
Sig up now at www.pinkribbonvolunteer.co.nz... or if you have any questions phone 0508 105 105 or email pinkribbon@bcf.org.nz or me at susiemcc@xtra.co.nz
Many thanks

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
