YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO !! PLEASE SHARE YOUR OFFICE SKILLS FOR A FEW HOURS A MONTH
Hello everyone ! Grey Power Rotorua is shortly to have its annual election of Committee Members. One of those officers is a Secretary, a word that seems to frighten a lot of people as soon as they hear / read it - so please read on!
Really, while we have an official position called Secretary, which, if you wanted to apply, would love to give someone, what we REALLY need, whether you join the Committee or not, is someone / a couple of people to give an hour or so a week to take care of office routine things that involve the internet, using a computer, and the like. Being able to type is pretty useful ! It never involves sales or door knocking or anything of that ilk.
We are totally flexible about the time of day the work gets done, and can operate through all the Clouds there are !! Our office tasks can be broken into discrete task-parcels easily, and we would more more than happy to have you do a set parcel, and find others to do the rest eg we have a Minute Secretary, and hope to have one again. If this could be you, then do let us know, no one is confirmed in the position.
If you are at all looking for somewhere to contribute a little bit of time, perhaps find out a lot of interesting stuff that may help with your own plans for retirement, and meet some awesome volunteers already doing their bit, we'd love to hear from you. You can check us out on our website, and private message me if you wish for more information, or email gpr.miriamruberl@gmail.com

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
