SPCA Op Shop Callout
Hello Neighbours.
The sun is shining and it's the perfect time for a bit of spring cleaning and decluttering before the holiday season which will be upon us before we know it. The SPCA is always in need of good clean sellable items for our op shop in Browns Bay. We need lot's of summer clothing for adults and kids, and we are always in need of books, cd's, dvd's kitchenware (especially cutlery) and general bric a brac and knick knacks. We also take furniture which can be picked up from you. All profits from our store go directly to helping the animals and with the kitten season looming the SPCA needs all the help they can get. We are very lucky to have so many animal lovers who support us on the Norh Shore. We are extremely grateful to you all. Our efforts would not be possible without you. If you would like to help out please feel free to phone us

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?
