Wednesday Monthly Meeting - April 2022
|
|
|
We had a very informative evening at the WINGS Wednesday meeting learning about Driving Miss Daisy. It is fascinating to know that this service is not just about driving you from point A to point B but also a companion driving service. They take great care in helping their clients to get to their destination. They give a confirmation call a night before and wait patiently for the client to leave their homes.
We ended this evening with a round of Table Tennis games which was great fun. The lovely Naina who is a coach for the Northland Table Tennis taught us the basics making it exciting.

Brainstorming session at WINGS- April 2022
|
|
We held a brainstorming session at WINGS. A group of us from WINGS along with Plunket and Table Tennis Northland came together to discuss the events we can organise to cater for all age groups.
Some really good ideas were thrown on the table.
We even pulled our Co-Founder Liane in to dig into some past events they held. People seemed inspired.
Gwen our Co vice-Chair did an amazing job of chairing the meeting and watching the time.
So if you have some ideas which you think can be included in our Events planner pop into our office to see our lovely Eva or Zainab and talk to them. or email us at wingsnz@hotmail.com

It is always a delight to meet our WINGS members who have moved away from Whangarei. A lot of you might know Rosalind, who was with WINGS as a committee member, as a treasurer and as a very active volunteer at WINGS. She moved down to Taupo with her husband a few years ago. She is also the face behind starting our WINGS Taupo branch coffee morning every Friday.
She still comes to visit us up in Whangarei frequently
Our lovely Avi and Eva were in the Taupo area at the end of March so they took this opportunity to pay her a visit, a surprise visit. They spent some good quality time there, catching up and exploring the Taupo Botanical Garden.
So if you are in Taupo, do give her a call.
