Volunteers needed
The Environment Centre is undertaking a membership campaign and part of that involves putting together some planter boxes for us to use for promotional purposes.
The nice people at Men's Sheds are preparing the wood for us but we need some handy-ish people who can wield a hammer for a couple of hours on Saturday morning to put the boxes together. If you would like to help out please contact Katherine at the EC 839 4452 or email on envirocentre.org.nz. Bribery and corruption will be used to encourage you all - delicious morning tea provided.
Meet a candidate
The Environment Centre does not directly endorse individual candidates but will publicise opportunities to find out more about candidates and what they stand for, so here is an opportunity -
Invitation to meet Mark at Artspost, by the Museum, from 5.30pm on Monday week, 6 September. This is an informal opportunity for you to tell Mark what you think the city's priorities should be and to hear his vision for Hamilton.
