The Manukau Branch of the National Council of Women

The Manukau Branch of the National Council of Women held their celebration today to commemorate 130 years of women’s suffrage in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Our guest speaker was Councillor Christine Fletcher who beautifully traversed a number of her experiences and wrapped them all into the many roles women have in life during the good times, the bad times, the times that require more resilience than others.

We recognised three women today with a certificate of thanks for their contributions to our communities, Barbara Thomson

Jyostna Mistry and Olga Mason.

Christine Knock was presented with her National Council of Women Life Membership badge having served 38 years and taking on a variety of leaderships roles during that time.

It was an excellent morning of commemoration.

Wattle Downs Residents

Tonight's Wattle Downs Residents Group meeting was a full house.

Chair Row Robinson had a full and active agenda which was really motivating for all in attendance.

I love the happy faces of Rae who presented the winning raffle to Jenny!

Thank you to David Hopkins for your work on the Waiata Shores Footbridge - Jared I really valued your input on why speed calming devices are important for children as a priority.

We are all looking forward to the famous Wattle downs Christmas Picnic on the 18th December !
