Hello everyone and welcome to June 2021. Thank you to everyone who donated something towards the Kai Kitchen they really appreciated it. Last month we did some really constructive club work and the groups had some awesome ideas, we are going to go over some of them again this month so we can narrow down our priority issues to address with the council etc.
 
This month is Candle Lighting and we are also celebrating International Month so please bring along your foreign friends. Our Education Scholarship Recipient Hannah Purser is going to speak to us about how her studies are going, and we have our Sileni Wine fundraiser starting on the 21st of June.

Our Education Scholarship opens up again at the end of the month so keep an eye on your inbox for this. Please bring your KTA books to our dinner meeting if you would like things signed off, please let me know if you would like some tasks at the candle lighting ceremony to complete some of your KTA.

Hello everyone and welcome to May 2021. Well, what an amazing month we have had! The 2021 BPWNZ National Conference held here in Hawera was a great success, thank you so much to everyone who helped with this event. I hope you all enjoyed the conference and the wonderful fun had on the Friday and Saturday nights; the partner's program also had great reviews.
Our club received the Marketing award and Helen Cook was acknowledged with the Distinguished Service award. Both resolutions that our club put forward were successful, well done Anna Hornby and Amelie Moncel for all your work on these, you presented well and made us all proud. Well done Vivien Johnson on being elected to the BPWNZ executive as the 2nd VP we know how lucky they are to have you.
We appreciate everyone who donated items to our raffle which was to raise money for our scholarship, we raised $405.00 through the raffle and another $200 through Camelia sales. Thank you to everyone who had stalls and manned the raffle tables.
 
This month is our 1-year twining anniversary with BPW Denver and we will be celebrating with them via zoom on the 13th of May at 12.30pm everyone is welcome to join in the zoom link which is down below in the club announcements section.

 Desiree's Message Hello everyone and welcome to March 2021. We have another great month with Women's International Day, resolutions to discuss and a fabulous speaker. 
This month in recognition of International Women's Day we are having a themed dinner meeting asking everyone to come dressed as a country of their choice, this means wearing the colours that represent a country or a traditional outfit if you have one. It is not compulsory but will be a lot of fun!
We will discuss the resolutions and vote on each one so that we know how to represent the club at conference. This is the time to offer any amendments or feedback for the resolution proposers. Please read them before you come to the meeting, you all should have received them. Please let me know if you need them sent again :) 

Our guest speaker is Erin Strampel from sustainable Taranaki, who is going to share about all the great programs and initiatives she is a part of.
We are having our crop swap again this month so please bring something along, you never know what bargain you will get!
