Probus Speaker – Bill Day – Wellington Children's Hospital

Richard Herbert from Tawa Probus Club

The next Tawa Probus meeting will be held on Monday, 17th June, commencing 9.30am, at the Tawa Bowling Club, Davies Street, Tawa.

At this meeting Wellington Hospitals Foundation chair Bill Day is going to tell us the story of the proposed new Wellington Regional Children's Hospital
project.

November 7, 2018 marked the start of the construction of our new Wellington Regional Children’s Hospital. The 7000-square metre, three-storey new children’s hospital is expected to open by early 2021. The new, purpose-built facility will allow us to provide high-quality care to our young patients – bringing inpatient services and outpatient clinics under one roof, and allowing for the integration of services.

The first ever children’s hospital in New Zealand was built by the community, and opened in Wellington in 1912. Now a new children’s hospital is again being built and instigated by the support of Mr Mark Dunajtschik and the community.

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
