~~RECOGNITION AND APPRECIATION~~
Our service is for positive ageing. We provide a befriending and transport service to people over the age of 60 living independently in the Greater Auckland area.
We have decided that this year to celebrate Volunteer Awareness Week, we are going to show our volunteers how much we and the community value their hard work and dedication.
On the 18th June we are having a luncheon for our volunteers at Valentines Manukau.
We have fundraised by getting the support of companies in Auckland donating items to be raffled.
I will be awarding our Volunteers with a thank you gift each to show how much we really do value their perserverance and committment to being a wonderful gift to the community by volunteering their hearts and minds.
A HUGE Thank You so far to NZracing, Caltex, Hoyts, Skycity, Smith&Caughey, Contours, Barkers, Hubbards, Arnotts, Bicknells Chocolates, Candles of Soy, Pak n Sav Manukau and Valentines Manukau

When: Wednesday 18 June 6.30 - 8pm Waimate
We are running this for Volunteer Week with Civil Defence both in Timaru and Waimate.
We wanted to acknowledge the work of the emergency services, especially given the rural nature of our communities. South Canterbury has always been known for getting out there and networking and supporting each other in times of need.
Joy Sylvia from Volunteering Mid & South Canterbury and Mark Bang are organising a public meeting to inform and potentially recruit people about the work of various volunteer organisations.
The format will be a casual get together with some light refreshments available so that people can hear a short presentation , view a small table top display and get to meet some of the people from each organisation. As you can see the venue is the Timaru District Council Chambers (access from Barnard St car park).
You can see we are using "the big snow" as the theme to get peoples interest.
Timaru: Remember the BIG SNOW! Timaru Civil Defence is calling the volunteer sector All interested people are invited on Monday 16th June 6.30pm – 8pm, to celebrate Volunteer Week. There will be a Civil Defence Operations set up to view, guest speakers from CD, Search and Rescue, Mountain Safety Council, Fire Service, St John, 4WD club and Red Cross. A chance to find out all about the workings of these organisations and if you are really interested, how you might fit in.
A finger food supper and refreshments will be provided. Come along, have some fun. Everyone invited.
