PROJECT COMMUNITY MASK

Linda Turner from Hornby Community Care Centre

We need your help!! We are all concerned about the return of Covid-19 coming back into our communities. So we are on a mission to come together to create reuseable, washable masks to support the need in our Greater Hornby community.

The idea is that you come along and make masks for yourself but also help to create many more to distribute out to our community.

What we need: Extra sewing machines, fabric cutting scissors, sewing cotton and 100% cotton fabric . We already have a supply of everything but the more we get…the more masks we can make.

Who we need: As many people as possible that can help with fabric cutting, pinning together, ironing, sewing and other bits and pieces. A happy, laughing production line. 😃

Session 1: Monday, 17th August, 11am – 4pm
Session 2: Wednesday, 19th August 10am – 3pm

If you can come along to help, donate or lend any items or just have questions please call/txt Linda on 021396425.

LET’S GET THIS DONE

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
