Sunday Afternoon Toastmasters - first meeting of 2022
Happy New Year!
With the new year comes resolutions, and getting over fear of public speaking is a recurring goal for many.
In 2022, one of our club goals is to bring you more “meet our member” profiles so we can encourage others to fight their public speaking fears (or even take their public speaking to the next level) and kickstart their toastmasters journeys.
Chairing our next meeting on Sunday 16 Jan 2021 is our ever entertaining and engaging speaker George. George joined Sunday Afternoon Toastmaster in 2018 and continues to come along for ongoing personal development and the supportive evaluations.
Why not pop into 20 Sydney Street, Petone or online via zoom (yes - we’re hybrid) to find out more about Sunday Afternoon Toastmasters?
DM/PM or email us for more details.

Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
Share your Christmas mishaps below!
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
