Happy international volunteer day
Today is international volunteer day where we champion the impact volunteers have in communities, nationally and globally.The theme this year is ‘Volunteer for an Inclusive Future – E whai wāhi ai te katoa, kia tūao te tū’. Jenny is one of our FANTASTIC volunteers who works at our North Branch (Fendalton), helping members of the public know and understand their rights . She speaks Mandarin and Cantonese and is passionate abut making sure that language is not a barrier to accessing help . She also loves to sing and is part of the Canterbury Japanese Choir . They are holding a special 15th Anniversary Concert on Monday 9th December 2019. - why not pop along and see Jenny in action. So to all those volunteers out there - THANK YOU & HAPPY INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEER DAY.

Response to regifting presents
My mind tends to wander:
I do not see any problem with regifting it back to the person who gave it, they obviously liked it. In fact, that might work out well as you buy the present you want, then gift it to someone you know who will gift it back.
Perfect, no decision needs to be made about Xmas presents
