We are holding a workshop training this coming Saturday 24th February from 10-2pm to introduce any new volunteers to this wonderful opportunity.
LGFB is a charitable organisation that helps women feel good on the outside while going through cancer treatment.
We run 4-5 workshops a year which are held on a Monday.
If you would like to be involved as a Volunteer we would love to hear from you.
A skill or background in makeup would definitely be an advantage but not a necessity. If you can follow ‘step by step’ instructions for skincare and makeup and would like to be involved in this organisation I would love to hear from you, or perhaps you know someone who may be well suited to this volunteer position.
The workshop training this coming Saturday 24th February is limited to 15 ladies who will have the opportunity to be involved 4-5 times a year to add to our list of existing volunteers.
Hopefully you will want to be involved or have people in mind or have talked to about becoming a volunteer.
We will have and be pleased to introduce you to Pip Callanan the Regional Community Liaison Manager, she is coming down from Auckland to participate in this training.
Timetable for the day
10.00 - 10.30 Morning tea and mingling to meet everyone
10.30 - 11.30 Pip will take us all through Health and Safety, Code of Conduct training
11.30 - 12.30 Lunch
12.30 - 2.00 Hands on training of skincare and makeup.
Ruth and Cherie will provide morning tea but if we could all please bring a plate of finger food to share for lunch that would be much appreciated.
If you can please confirm that you are able to come and the name and email addresses of any other ladies that would like to come. We would really love to have all 15 spots filled.
Please feel free to take a look at our web page at:

I Look forward to hearing from you. Ruth x

Marlborough students who travel to school by bus are being sent home early as ex-Cyclone Gita threatens to flood roads.
Less than two weeks after getting flooded, Wairau Valley resident Jae Russell is getting ready for round two.

Thanks to the 2600 of you who completed our Sunday Star-Times/Neighbourly poll on NZ's changing attitudes to meat and veges. We reported the results this weekend - and they were fascinating.

We reported the results this weekend - and they were fascinating.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, it reveals our most loyal meat-eaters are in farming provinces like Southland, Manawatu-Wanganui and Taranaki, where nearly two-thirds of us eat meat most days. By comparison, fewer than half of respondents in Wellington, Auckland and Northland eat that much meat. More than a third of Aucklanders and Cantabrians say they are reducing their meat consumption; another 13 per cent have already cut it from their diets entirely.
>> So here's a question: should city-dwellers be supporting our farmers better, given they're still the backbone of our economy? Or do farmers and the rest of us need to be working together to find new solutions - new premium meats, new meat alternatives - to reflect reducing meat consumption around the world?
