From President David
It was a good turnout to our Thursday meeting and our guest speaker was Daz Burns from The Good Day Matrix. Daz is an extremely busy lady and we were all amazed with what she fits in to her life and what she achieves.
We heard from 4 of our Directors as introductions to the Club and a brief on what they hope to achieve in the year ahead. This sets us up nicely for Committee meetings next week which will be good to get the teams together and start working on the work plans the Directors have put together.
From what I hear our International Youth Exchange student Marie is settling in well to school and we look forward to seeing more of Marie in the coming weeks. Marie attended an International Youth Exchange meet up in Taupo last weekend and met her inbound peers and the group that are outbound from our District. Please help out as much as you can with settling Marie in and any trips or outings you have where you think Marie might like to join you please offer your support. This is a life changing experience for her so let's all pitch in and help out.
We were privileged to have the Cambridge High School French Studies group cook for us for the evening meal with the help from Pip and Murray Feast from the Morrinsville Rotary Club. Pip and Murray are teachers at Cambridge High School and were a great support on the evening helping the French Studies Group deliver a 2 course meal for our Club. Thanks go out to the CHS French Studies team and especially Pip and Murray for their support.
Looking forward to Committee meetings next week, enjoy the rest of your weekend and see you next week.
Cheers President David
Guest Speaker - Daz Burns, The Good Day Matrix
Daz Burns talked to the Club about her work with The Good Day Matrix. This is a 100% free wellbeing website whose primary goal is to positively impact lives in Aotearoa.
Wellbeing is an ongoing journey you chip away at and The Good Day Matrix supports people's navigation of that journey through the sharing of useful and effective stories, videos and resources.
They weave five fundamental wellbeing elements of body, mind, identify, community and environment together through stories to inspire curiosity, empower action and connect journeys.
Many thanks to Daz for her address to the Club. Further information can be found on the link below.
The e waste dismantling operations at Urban Miners have become increasingly complex over the last year as they strive to recycle more materials and components while also improving the financial return from them. Dismantling operations have come a long way, and this week a very successful visit was arranged for Jon Thornhill, Director of E Cycle in Auckland who are Urban Miners' largest outlet for e waste products and components.
Jon spent nearly three hours with Urban Miners Lead Volunteers discussing the finer points of identifying and differentiating e waste components from one another, as well as dismantling techniques and health and safety issues. It was a very positive session much enjoyed and appreciated by all the volunteers involved.
