TAWA ROTARY BUSINESS BREAKFAST
Dave Greenberg will be guest speaker at Tawa Rotary’s Business Breakfast at The Borough, Wednesday 22 August, 7:00am to 8:30am.
A few days before his 14th birthday Dave helped save the life of a stranger on a New York street. This event helped shape his life. He became a volunteer firefighter and ambulance officer, but it was his IT work that brought him to New Zealand for a one year contract. He never left and spent the next 25 years as a crew member on the Wellington-based Westpac Rescue Helicopter.
All members of the wider business community are invited to share a cooked buffet breakfast and hear Dave share life and business lessons learned from his time in the emergency services.

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)
.

The Hikoi on Tuesday 19th
I copied this from a Facebook page: The expected route of the hīkoi on Tuesday is from Takapuwahia Maree in Esldon towards Porirua and along Kenepuru Drive to Tawa, then up Middleton Road to Johnsonville, down Ngaraunga George and along the old Hutt Road to Wellington. They are anticipating significant congestion on the roads between 06.00am and 12.30pm.
