Furniture Needed - anyone got stuff to get rid of?

Sarah Miller — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 02:22:01 GMT

Can you help?

Refugee Services Furniture Bank is in urgent need of the following items to help resettle a group of

quota refugees arriving into the Greater Wellington area in the first week of October.

These refugees will be resettled into the Hutt Valley, Porirua and Wellington.

The critical items needed are quality fridges, double beds, blankets, dining chairs, couches,

easy (lounge chairs), drawers and Curtains. We are also short a couple of cots are needed.

Then there are the “nice to have” items of microwaves, bedside cabinets, and coffee tables.

TVs aren’t needed as have sufficient already and have almost all the dining tables required.

The items need to be in good condition and free of any borer (for wood items), tears and stains,

animal hairs etc for the soft furnishings.

Refugee Services is also trying to arrange temporary storage in the Porirua area, so that items

sourced there, can stay in the area until the house set up days, which will probably be 1st and 2nd

October (Friday and Saturday), otherwise they would be brought back to Taita (closest storage

point) and taken back again, with only a small transit van available.

Three house set up days for Lower Hutt and Wellington are planned for Monday 4th October

through to Wednesday 6th October, so if you can donate for these areas before that time frame

that would be brilliant. Collection can be arranged during the week beginning Monday 26th

September

Can you help with any of these items, and/or temporary storage?

If so, please contact:

Liz Barrett Phone: (04) 805 0306 Email: liz.barrett@refugeeservices.org.nz

And collection can be arranged

Volunteer for Youthline. Yeeeah!!

Sarah Miller — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 04:51:11 GMT

Have you ever thought about doing some volunteer work? Well now is a good time!

Youthline Wellington needs volunteers and is having its next intake in July.

Here are 5 great reasons for getting in touch:

Youthline is a great way to give back to your community and get that amazing feeling you get from helping someone out and really making a difference. It is a really rewarding experience.
Youthline supports its counsellors. There is full training provided and you get fortnightly group supervision. Youthline is flexible so you can choose to do your 3 or more phone duties a month at times that best suit your schedule.
As well as phone counselling, once you are a volunteer there are tonnes of opportunities to get involved in other ways. For example, fundraising, management and administration of the organisation, school visits, helping out with volunteer intakes and being able to use your expert skills to help us in ways we haven't even thought of yet! All this extra stuff is just if you have time, but it's lots of fun and it looks great on your CV!
You get to meet and make friends with some really amazing, generous people. Youthline has a really warm, community feel. Most of our volunteers are between 18 and 30 years old, but there are older and younger ones too.
If you're not sure, you can change your mind about volunteering at any point during the selection process. If you get in touch, we will send you some more information for you to consider. You can also check out our website.

If you are interested, call our office phone number (04 801 6924) or send us an email with your contact details: youthline1@xtra.co.nz

It would also be great if you could send this email out to your networks or anyone in particular you think would be a great phone counsellor.

Thank you!

haurangi's next weekend

Sarah Miller — Sun, 13 Jun 2010 02:39:36 GMT

hey all

i'm keen for a wee spot of tramping next weekend. Leaving sat, coming back sun. won't be a super long walk, maybe 4 hours or so into a hut, then hang out and do geeky stuff like playing scrabble, balderdash, and 500 along with drinking mulled wine.

Sounds like a pretty good way to spend a weekend to me...

Sarah Miller — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 15:21:42 GMT

48 Hour film making comp

Sarah Miller — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 16:28:56 GMT

so, who wants to be involved!!! me and my mate amanda are looking to make a film and add zombies in there somewhere. We won't know the topic till the shoot weekend though. Basically we are looking for anyone who wants to be involved, and that could be in many ways - acting, making props, general helping out with food and transport etc. We also need a camera, so if anyone has a camera they wouldn't mind lending, that would be primo. We would be giving beer to say thanks.

anyway let me know if you are keen. should be super fun. Check out the website.

Karobusters over the next year

Hi everyone

I am delighted to tell you that DOC has funding to continue the successful Karobusters weekends in the next financial year (July 2010 – June 2011).

We have scheduled five trips for the year:

· 16 –17 October 2010

· 4 – 5 December 2010

· 5 -6 February 2011

· 5 – 6 March 2011

· 9 -10 April 2011.

All Karobusters trips to Matiu/Somes Island run to the same plan. We leave Wellington on the 10am ferry on the Saturday and return at 4.50 pm Sunday. Overnight accommodation is provided by DOC in Education House and in one of the Motels.

Expressions of interest can now be made for any of the 2010-11 trips, (but I won’t be allocating seats for these trips for a while).

Please feel free to contact me with any questions, by email or phone 04 904 0594 or 021 236 4184

Kind regards

Dave Cox

PS – The above email refers to the July 2010 – June 2011 financial year. We also have the last trip of this financial year in late April 2010. This trip is already full and people have been individually advised.
