Lions BBQ Social Event
HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF BEING A LION? COME TO OUR BBQ TO MEET US!
Lion members are ordinary members of your local area that do extraordinary things to help others and build stronger communities.
As a Lions member you’ll join a local group of service-minded men and women of all ages who volunteer to support your community. You’ll also become a member of Lions International – a respected international organisation, a leader in your local community and a friend to people in need.
If you’d like to find out more about what our club does in the Bethlehem Te Puna area (also wider Tauranga at times), as President, I would like to invite you to our first social event of the year which is my President’s BBQ. A great opportunity for us to catch up as a club and welcome anyone who expresses an interest in joining us.
It is being held at Fernland Spa from 5pm Sunday 21st January. If you are interested in attending please give me a ring on 0211303805 or leave me a message here.
WE DO MUCH MORE THAN SIZZLE SAUSAGES!
Tauranga Council-private cocktail party
So-here is the latest news. The Council is to host a private cocktail party on the waterfront (not that private then) for 150 invitees to celebrate the city's transformation and progress. The list of invitees is secret (nothing new in that with the track record of the commissioners). Can Council and the commissioners be any more tone deaf? Having a cocktail party with, I assume, canapes when :
1. We are facing a 7% rates rise in a cost of living crisis.
2. Businesses have closed because of the "progress made"
3. We continue to to suffer significant inconvenience in "orange cone
city".
4. We have 4 commissioners who tried to subvert democracy by
asking to remain as unelected overlords at Council.
But really-a private cocktail party? On the waterfront? With, presumably, gates and security guards patrolling to prevent the riff raff getting in. Tone deaf.
Share your New Zealand music memories...
It's NZ Music Month and New Zealand really has some beautiful songs from artists that we call our own.
Whether it's April Sun in Cuba, Don't Forget your Roots, or How Bizarre or Bic Runga's 'Sway' - songs have a way of unlocking memories and evoking old feelings.
In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.
Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the Conversations column of your local paper.
