The Whakatāne Ki Mua project is asking residents what they want to see in the District, and People First New Zealand has answered the call by inviting members of Whakatāne District Council to a mobility scooter challenge.

Sylvia Ratahi of People First says the challenge aims to highlight the difficulties people on mobility scooters and power chairs, as well as the elderly, face when getting around the District. “I have had one bad tumble,” she said, “and hurt my shoulder. Some road crossings are excellent, but many still pose real problems.” The challenge will be followed by a series of workshops to get input from disabled people and seniors on how to make Whakatāne more disability and age friendly.

The challenge on Wednesday, 14 June at 2 pm is not a race, but there will be awards for the best driving. Mayor Tony Bonne and Deputy Mayor Judy Turner joined Shirley Townsend and Sylvia Ratahi in Kopeopeo to inspect the course, with the Deputy Mayor stepping up to accept the challenge as the Mayor would be out of the District on that day. The Deputy Mayor said she was looking forward to the challenge, which will commence at the car park of the old Countdown building and finish at the Whakatāne Disability Resource Centre on King St. “I am keen to see first-hand the challenges residents on mobility scooters face,” she said, “and there is no better way than some real-world experience. It’s also great to see community groups getting behind the Ki Mua project to have their voices heard.”

The workshops will be held at the Disability Resource Centre on 21 June from 5:30 to 7 pm and on 22 June from 1 to 2:30 pm, and are open to the public. Whakatāne Ki Mua project organisers will be in attendance to gather input.

If you search their website you probably can't find any reference as to what NZMA means.  Perhaps it's "Neo Zulu Men's Athletics"

Additional numbers and email addresses can be included for a modest fee.  I am the coordinator for the A-Z listings so give me a call on 021 626 090 urgently if you want any changes made.  The directory will be printed before mid June.

Something you may not know about your local Rotary Club is that they administer applications to the J R McKenzie Youth Education Fund, the aims and objects of which are:
"To assist in the betterment, education, advancement and physical welfare of the youth in the community, particularly in cases where bereavement, sickness or family disturbances leave the children in need of assistance if they are to continue their studies."
Grant Criteria
The Fund wishes to help where death,
 sickness, family break up or economic
 hardship cause difficulty for young
people and their caregivers to meet the
 costs of their education.  Applications
 must be related to a young person’s
 education, although this term can be
broadly interpreted. The Fund will not
 cover general tuition fees, unless there
 are unusual circumstances.
The Fund is administered entirely by Rotary clubs
which have a separate
 committee who receive and consider all
 applications from individuals (through
Rotarians), other Rotary clubs, community
 organisations, school principals, ministers
 and social workers. After considering the
 degree of hardship and seeing evidence
of a degree of self-help, they distribute
 grants to the most deserving cases
 through the nearest Rotary Club, who
can discuss problems and offer advice,
 if requested. Applications are invited
 around September of each year, but can
 be made at any time.
