$$$$$$ WANTED - TREASURER $$$$$$$$
The Te Horo Hall committee needs your help!
Do you enjoy managing money? Would you like to join a friendly & positive group of locals who manage the Te Horo Hall to ensure it's available to the community. The Hall committee needs a new treasurer as our current treasurer is stepping down after many years.
The Hall is regularly hired out for celebrations (weddings, birthdays etc), a monthly market, exercise classes & sporting activities, funerals, social and fundraising events. It is also set up to become a Civil Defence community hub to support the community in an emergency.
The committee manages the hall maintenance and improvements, event bookings, health and safety, cleaning, Council requirements, and the CD hub if needed - and also hosts monthly drinks (everyone welcome) plus some social or fundraising events.
The Treasurer’s role includes:
• receiving and banking all payments made to the committee
• paying accounts and expenses
• keeping an accurate record of the transactions and accounts
• providing a financial update to monthly committee meetings
• preparing annual financial accounts for the AGM
• arranging an annual audit of the finances
• managing term deposit investments.
If you're interested or would like more information, please message us or phone our current treasurer, Katherine on 0276712166
We’d love to hear from you, and/or see you at the AGM at the hall on 22 June 7.30pm.
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!
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
