Chris and Barbara advised the Trust was established by a group of health practitioners. It focusses on women in the Bay of Plenty who are suffering extreme emotional and psychological stress – without financial means. This could be women having to care for grandchildren or someone dying, or living in a stressful situation.
It provides a free recuperative retreat with workshops, mindfulness, self-compassion, problem solving, goal setting and grief. They are supported 24 hours per day and it acts as a circuit breaker to enable women to have time to themselves.
At a cost of $900 per person they are looking to run 5 workshops this year with a total of 40 participants. For this cost it not only changes the lives of the women attending but has a positive impact on the many people who rely on them.
Raffle – won by Warren banks
Sergeant – Stephen Dorrington provided a witty repartee
Did his bit for climate change by catching a bus into town. Tauranga buses are very lonely with just him and the driver.
Came up with a marvellous idea that we should start busking to replace the money made from Savealife. Given the skills shown at this year’s karaoke night there is definitely plenty of talent in the club.

This is a normal club breakfast. If you attend, the cost of your usual breakfast will be credited to your club account. If you are not attending you should put in an apology so the cost for your breakfast is credited to your club account.
If you do neither you will forfeit the cost of your normal weekly breakfast as per usual. If this is confusing please contact Warwick.
And finally: I picked up a book from the library last week. It was called 'Helium'. I couldn't put it down
