Governance/Finance/HR/Constitution Review?
Karori Community Centre needs your help.
We need great volunteers to join our management committee (Board) and/or to help out with events, administration and one-off activities. If you have some spare time to put into supporting our community – we'd love to hear from you.
We are looking for people with:
• Finance or accounting skills, who can oversee the Centre’s finances, assist with end of year financial reports and provide monthly advice to the Management Committee. We have a great team of staff and volunteers who manage the day to day financial processes
• HR or organisation development skills, who can review our staff contracts and develop our performance appraisal system
• Constitution reviewing and updating documentation skills
• Enthusiasm and who wants to contribute to their community
Your commitment would be for a few hours a month, a burst of help every now and again or for one-off projects.
With the new Karori Event Centre almost complete – we need even more volunteers to help. Be a part of this exciting journey!
Please contact chair@karoricommunitycentre.org.nz (Heather) with a few sentences introducing yourself, your skills or tasks you could help us with.
⚠️ 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 ❤️
Wander more, worry less
Few things in life are as enriching as the thrill of travel or the camaraderie among friends. At Ryman’s Bert Sutcliffe Village in Auckland, a group of intrepid travellers have combined the two.
It all began when Bert Sutcliffe Village resident Marie began arranging evenings at the theatre for her neighbours. The theatre enthusiasts soon became close friends and as their friendships developed so did their adventures, expanding their horizons to include long lunches, winery tours, group dinners and adventurous holidays in New Zealand and overseas.
