TAWA ROTARY BUSINESS BREAKFAST
Dave Greenberg will be guest speaker at Tawa Rotary’s Business Breakfast at The Borough, Wednesday 22 August, 7:00am to 8:30am.
A few days before his 14th birthday Dave helped save the life of a stranger on a New York street. This event helped shape his life. He became a volunteer firefighter and ambulance officer, but it was his IT work that brought him to New Zealand for a one year contract. He never left and spent the next 25 years as a crew member on the Wellington-based Westpac Rescue Helicopter.
All members of the wider business community are invited to share a cooked buffet breakfast and hear Dave share life and business lessons learned from his time in the emergency services.

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!
