|
|
Hello
October is here already. Spring has sprung, daylight savings is upon us and the Poverty Bay A&P Show is just around the corner (18-19 Oct). This time of year is great but with the beginning of October also comes the realisation that 2019 is fast coming to an end. In fact, Christmas is just 12 weeks away!
Many of our member's organisations are busy preparing for their Annual General Meetings, as is TCV on the 11 November.
If you'd like to advertise your organisations AGM through this newsletter please email the details to contact@tcvhub.co.nz
Keep up to date with network events and activities on the TCV Community Calander.
A friendly reminder that the applications for the Nan Evans Awards close on 30 October, please keep the nominations coming in.
Kind Regards
