A few days before his 14th birthday Dave helped save the life of a stranger on a New York street. This event helped shape his life. He became a volunteer firefighter and ambulance officer, but it was his IT work that brought him to New Zealand for a one year contract. He never left and spent the next 25 years as a crew member on the Wellington-based Westpac Rescue Helicopter.
All members of the wider business community are invited to share a cooked buffet breakfast and hear Dave share life and business lessons learned from his time in the emergency services.

These classes help us as we age to retain lower body and core strength, remaining active to avoid falls.
No-one is bullet proof, falls happen and some can result in broken bones, pain and long healing times and can also make us fearful of falling again. Losing confidence can really affect quality of life.
Live Stronger for Longer strength and balance classes are growing nationwide. Visit www.livestronger.org.nz and join a class near you, you’ll find lots of practical information, advice and resources on how to live an active, healthy and independent life.

Are your kids getting too much screen time?
Are they developing a hunched posture?
Do they have problems with low energy, headaches, anxiety, or being constantly distracted?
A regular yoga practice leads to increased focus, creativity, resilience, compassion, and a healthy self-image. It also decreases anxiety & negative behaviours.
We're launching a yoga class for 5 to 8 year olds, at Yoga Collective, Paremata (In Paremata Boating Club)
Running Tuesdays 3:30 to 4:15pm. Starts 31 July. $108 for term 3.
Bookings are essential.
To reserve space for your child, click the following link:

Please share with parents who have kids, who might be interested.
Cheers, Lauren McKee
