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
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)
.
