Toastmasters Meeting
A quick reminder about the Open Meeting with Dinsdale Toastmasters, Hamilton, New Zealand.
Tues 28th 7pm at the Western Community centre, Hyde ave, Nawton.
Anyone over the age of 18 welcome to attend.
feel free to PM me for more details about the open meeting, the Dinsdale Toastmasters club or Toastmasters in general.
I've been a member of Toastmasters for 27 and a half years and been with the Dinsdale club for almost 25 of them (am the longest serving member, tho our current President is the longest serving Toastmaster, he's been in the organization 5 years longer than me, but in the club for 22 years).
Of our 7 senior members we have a combination of 147 and a half years in Toastmasters but a combination of 115 and a half years in the Dinsdale club (4 of us had been previous members of other clubs). So if you decide to join our club there are several members with a ton of knowledge who can assist you in every aspect of Toastmasters life.
We look forward to hopefully meeting you tomorrow night (28th) however if you are unable to attend the Open Meeting you may attend any Tues night.
See you all soon.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.8% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?
All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.
But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
-
82.7% Yes
-
17.3% No
Wild weather in the Waikato
The Waikato really copped it over the weekend, with wild weather leaving a hefty clean-up bill that may run into the millions.
While things are looking calmer in the days ahead, there are still plenty of slips and flooded roads across the district — so if you’re heading out, take it easy and stay alert.
We want to know: How did you and your whānau get on over the weekend?
