Takapuna North Community Trust would like to invite you to attend our quarterly Community Network Meeting on Tuesday 26th November at the Mary Thomas Building, 3 Gibbons Road, Takapuna (12-1.30pm in the Channel View Lounge). This meeting will be an opportunity to network, share contacts and tell our stories. It is for community groups, organisations and individuals interested in their community from the Hauraki Corner to Sunnynook area.
The meeting will take the form of a short presentation by Richard Howard on the history of the Mary Thomas Centre. He will talk about the recently published booklet on the same topic 'Paddocks to Place' which was commissioned by ANCAD. Free copies of the booklet will be available at the meeting. The presentation will be followed by a round robin of brief introductions by attendees (including the areas they are interested in and any relevant projects they are currently working on.) A light lunch will be offered at 1pm, which will give attendees an opportunity to chat and network with each other. Please RSVP to Sarah on the email below if you are able to make it.
