SeniorNet HB Social Day
Tomorrow (Saturday) at 2:00pm. come and listen to two very interesting speakers, who will be sharing their knowledge and wisdom with us at our Learning Center in Nimon House in the Mary Doyle Complex.
The first speaker is Sue Selwyn (Area Team Leader for Statistics NZ) who will be telling us all about the upcoming Census and how we can go about completing the forms in an easy and timely manner, and also, how we might help those in our community who might struggle with this issue.
The second speaker is Margaret Wellwood (Senior Partner at Langley Twigg) who will be talking to us about Elder Law. We will be discussing topics such as Powers of Attorney, Home Care, Rest Home Care as well as many other issues facing the elderly in our community.
Both members and non-members are welcome and entry is by Gold Coin donation.

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?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
