Tēnā koutou katoa
Welcome to Māori language week and also Women’s suffrage month, where we celebrate 130 years on the 19 September of the enduring legacy of women’s suffrage. I have included some info below on Iriaka Rātana, who was the first wāhine Māori MP elected in 1949. You can visit www.ourwahine.nz to learn more about amazing NZ women as well as the ministry of women’s website for further suffrage day activities and events. To help in your Te reo Māori journey visit reomaori.co.nz This month we will be dining at Someday, which I am sure everyone is excited about, so please bring along a friend who will enjoy a great dinner, speaker and company. We will be joined by Shona Brown from Mole map who has extensive experience in skin cancer screening and will give us the run down on this unfortunately prevalent cancer in NZ. Our Meet the Candidates night is all set to go for the 28th September. If you haven’t already please share far and wide and also let us know if you can help out on the night. We are asking if people could bring along any non perishable supper items to our September meeting for the event. Our BPW scholarship is still open so please encourage any local women you know that may need this to apply. October is also our AGM and we will have nomination forms at the September meeting for those interested in running for the executive. You will also need to Save the Date of Sunday 29th October for BPW’s online leadership forum. It sounds like they have some great speakers lined up for the event. We look forward to seeing you all at Someday on the 18th. Mā te wā Marissa Cope BPW Hawera Club President To view the newsletter click here...
