Treasurers & Office Persons required
We have three community organisations that are looking for volunteers to fill the above positions. Each role is slightly different.
The main requirement for two of the organisations will require approx. 1 – 2 hours per week and this may be able to be reduced when the right person becomes familiar with the requirements, or it could be that one person could do the role for both organisations.
One of the tasks will be logging into the pay role and setting up the wages, as well, they will need to prepare a monthly report and if possible be available to attend the monthly meeting, have some knowledge of paying accounts and be able to use an Excel Spreadsheet.
Support from the current volunteer will be available for the new person
If you have started a course and are looking to gain work experience – this could be a great way to gain that.
If these voluntary positions sound like something that you would like more information about. and if you think you may like to check one or more of these opportunities out then please contact Wendy at Volunteering New Plymouth on Ph 06 758 8986, Mob/Text 022 571 4228 or email admin@volunteeringnewplymouth.nz to take that next step, and discuss with her your skills and the potential options, she is keen to hear from you.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
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?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
37.1% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.9% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!

He/She who makes it, sells it.

The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?
