SGM RESULTS
Thank you to everyone who came along to our SGM on Tuesday night. The parish was asked to vote on approving the expenditure of up to $100,000 for improvements to the back accessway to SMASH and ECEC and the parking area outside the Karori Anglican Offices. The motion was carried, 23 votes in favour and 1 against. There was also some useful discussions around improving the fire exits, and being aware of disability access, which will be taken into account. Work will begin as soon as the contract can be put in place and we expect to have contractors on site within the next month. The improvements include installation of lighting and handrails, replacement of steps, curbing reinstated, asphalt replacement, undercover buggy park, safety gates for ECEC access and fencing.
MANA MINISTRIES MEALS REQUIRED
Our Mana Ministries Meals have been in high demand over the last 6 months and our stock is now very low. Please help to re-stock our freezer by picking up some meal containers and lids from either the church foyer or the parish office. You can drop the meals in to Heidi at the Parish office. Thank you for your kindness!
