We are still looking for individuals and teams of "helping hands" to assist with wrapping Christmas gifts from Saturday 6th December until Wednesday 24th December. We still have weekday, weekends and evening shifts available. I know some of you have said you are getting organised with a team but haven’t contacted me yet …
Come celebrate the Christmas spirit and help make a difference. Volunteer to be a “Christmas Wrapper”.
What’s in it for you:
• Be part of the Christmas buzz at the new expanded Sylvia Park mall.
• Meet other volunteers and enjoy working together. [Wear your "Corporate" T-Shirt to show others how your Business/Organisation gets involved!]
• Feel great knowing you are supporting a great cause.
• Do your Christmas shopping and we will wrap your presents for you!
This is an opportunity for you to give a Christmas gift to your community. By giving your time in this way, you will help Volunteering Auckland build its volunteer referral service that supports over 320 not-for-profit community groups in Auckland.
INTERESTED?
If so, these 3 steps will get it all sorted.

Great New Zealand Drug Driving Survey
|
26 Nov 2008
|
Are New Zealanders driving high to avoid being caught driving drunk? Do people think some drugs affect driving worse than others? Would roadside drug testing make a difference to attitudes or behaviour? The New Zealand Drug Foundation wants answers to these and other questions to get a sense of just how much we know about what drugs can do to us when we're behind the wheel.
Help us understand these issues - go to http://www.drugdrivingsurvey.org.nz and answer the survey. Forward to friends and family too! We want to beat the Australians with number of responses we get!
