CAB Volunteer Awards!
💛 We celebrated our amazing volunteers last week with a delicious morning tea, beautifully organised by Botany Manager, Megan - complete with her homemade Matariki shortbread stars.
Each year, we present a few certificates to recognise volunteers who have made an outstanding contribution. These get spread around the volunteers from year to year. All of our volunteers are absolute stars!
The proceedings were ably MC’d by Board Chair, Richard - also a volunteer - seen here smiling happily out of each picture.
So top first and left to right, we have:
⭐ Linda: Volunteer of the Year plus Outstanding Success in content and design, providing dedicated commitment to managing our social media pages.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
