Speaker : Jessica Finucane of Big Brothers Big Sisters. This organisation offers quality mentoring relationships for young people in New Zealand. Their mission is to make a positive difference in the lives of youth through professionally supported mentoring relationships. They provide tamariki (young kiwi kids) with a trained mentor. They match young people between the age of 6 and 12 years with a mentor until the young person turns 18. See bigbrothersbigsisters.org.nz...
Incidentally - the NZ Defence Force has become a corporate member of BPW NZ (as well as signing up to the Women's Empowerment Principles www.weps.org.nz...) so any member of the NZ Army, Navy or Air Force will be warmly welcomed to our meetings as a member. The cost is as listed above for all coming to the meeting.
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
34.1% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
64.8% No, I enjoy it
-
1.1% Other - I'll share below
Poll: Does a savoury scone require cheese on top, or folded inside?

-
23.7% On top!
Don't overthink this riddle...
I have a silver sole
but no feet,
I make my living by bringing the heat.
What am I?
