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.
Register to attend by emailing tawarotaryclub@gmail.com with the $25 payment made in advance by internet banking to: A/c 02-0552-0037039-00 (Code: BB3; Ref: Your name).
