Happy international volunteer day
Today is international volunteer day where we champion the impact volunteers have in communities, nationally and globally.The theme this year is ‘Volunteer for an Inclusive Future – E whai wāhi ai te katoa, kia tūao te tū’. Jenny is one of our FANTASTIC volunteers who works at our North Branch (Fendalton), helping members of the public know and understand their rights . She speaks Mandarin and Cantonese and is passionate abut making sure that language is not a barrier to accessing help . She also loves to sing and is part of the Canterbury Japanese Choir . They are holding a special 15th Anniversary Concert on Monday 9th December 2019. - why not pop along and see Jenny in action. So to all those volunteers out there - THANK YOU & HAPPY INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEER DAY.

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

How much does it cost to join AEA?
There are no dues or fees for joining AEA or attending AEA meetings. We are self-supporting through our own voluntary contributions. At some point during each meeting we pass the basket to help cover expenses, such as the cost of rent and literature. Members are not obliged to contribute, but we usually do so to the extent we are able.
