Support Timebank by attending our second AGM meeting, referred to the "General Meeting".
We had the AGM on the 7th Septembers looking for members to join the Steering committee. Members were shy kiwi's.
But since then we have three people step forward willing to join the team and steer this beautiful kaupapa into the future.
We have Cindy Koen new to NZ and Hawera put her hand up as chair, Trish Treloar from Bay of Plenty, (possible secretary and grant sleuth) and Nadia Ladeel (possible co chair or treasurer) based in New Plymouth so far.
The current steering committee members are Zuska (Lily) (NP) and Amy (Hawera) who have committed to another term as a general members and Jaki who has stepped down as chair, will remain as treasurer for the next few months supporting new members transition into their roles.
What does this mean to you a member.
Well to vote them in as officers we need member participation at the meeting. So we need YOU to attend the meeting, meet these lovely ladies and vote them in.
It is also possible to vote by proxy using this form. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Tvh5X-UmpgEk8I2QieFcYihe6UP-HO8G/copy
Or you can just email stating that you wish to give a steering member your vote for which nomination. Information of these lovely ladies will come out soon.
You can be from anywhere in Taranaki as the meeting itself will be on zoom - Thursday 25th September, 7pm

Hi everyone
Ano Ano and Jo S. have been ramping up the waste fabrics recycling project and this waste is being made into mattresses for people who need to have better sleeping facilities.
What is needed are covers to go over the mattresses. We would like to convert olds sheets or appropriate material into the covers.
The vision for a working bee is to get together one weekend and production line a whole heap. So we would have measurers, cutters, pinners, sewers, overlockers, tea person. SO if you think this would be something you could do please let me know so I can start the ball rolling. And if you are out of our area you are still welcome to come along!!

Come to Māra Kokotoha and help return this land to its native ecosystem!
Planting 9:30-12:30, followed by shared kai.
https://www.facebook.com/share/16FHfEwTUC/
Bring a spade and gloves if you can, gumboots are a good idea.
No dogs please.
Located between the Pukenui and Otaika Reserves, These forests are home to many of New Zealand's treasured species like kiwi and short-tailed bats.
Māra Kokotoha is being returned to native bush to help provide a wildlife corridor through disturbed land. It already hosts a variety of native birds and animals, and even has frequently seen bats.
With work beginning in 2022, this rural property of 6 hectares in has had hundreds of natives planted, invasive plants removed, and is actively pest-controlled.
Historically this land was forest, specifically "volcanic taraire forest" (an endangered ecosystem) but for the last century has been host of cows, sheep, and pigs. However, we are committed to returning this land to primarily native plants. We will be reserving some areas for a food forest, camping, and our living and gardening needs. However, the vast majority is to be replanted with natives to encourage a safe habitat for native animals.
We are installation artists ourselves and have already started installing artworks throughout the property. Ultimately we hope to host artists for retreats and campouts, art installations, green tech experiments, couchsurfers, campers, and more.
Please consider actively supporting this project with a small amount monthly through Patreon:

We are running a fundraising Sausage Sizzle at Bunnings Hāwera on Saturday 7th June.
We are lucky enough to have helpers for the barbecuing but are still looking for donations. The more we have donated the more profit we can use to help run Taranaki Timebank.
Can you buy a bag of Sausages for us? Perhaps a tray of drinks? Maybe you have a contact or a local business willing to sponsor us?
You could also just come down and say hi and grab a sausage ;-)
Send an email to Michelle for more info.

Do you have a spare mobile phone kicking around that you don’t need? It needs to be able to run the Garmin inReach App, and be supported for os updates.
We got some funding from the. Cyclone Gabrielle Appeal Trust to help our members be better prepared and networked when we get extreme weather events etc.
Cyclone Tam put us to the test and found us wanting; one of our coordinators was overseas, and our ‘Mission Control’ was on leave out of town! This highlighted the need for dedicated phones that can be passed on when going away, or even off sick etc so that we still have all the contacts and satellite text capability no matter what.
We have funds in the grant budget for running the system, but not for actual phones, at least certainly not new! If you can’t afford to donate your old phone send us details and how much you’re looking for it and we’ll get back to you if funds allow.
If you can offer us a phone please let us know details etc first rather than just send it in and we’ll let you know where it needs to go! We need 7 phones all in 😳
Thanks ever so much for your help, please feel free to share this post.
