Some of the women working behind the scenes for the annual Pamper Day; Jenni Schreuder, Lyn Caughey, Noralyn Berwick, Amber Kerehoma-McIntyre, Carolynn Tipene, Paula Taylor, Liz Laing and Gina Wells.
Inspiring women through Pamper Day By Celeste Alexander American singer-songwriter and activist Melissa Etheridge once said; “You are more powerful than you know; you are beautiful just as you are”. Her words could not be more perfect to describe the inspiration gained by the hundreds of local women who have taken part in the annual Pamper Day. The Pamper Day, being held on August 23, is in its fifth year and is held for women in the Marlborough community. It was first launched by support worker Noralyn Berwick and is now organised by a group of volunteers with the aim of giving the women a relaxing day being pampered.
Around 15 community services and government organisations give invitations to a select number of women, and a large number of local businesses donate their staff, time and resources towards the day. Last year over 70 businesses got involved and already a large number have pledged their support again this year. These include Quest Catering who is putting on a buffet lunch, the Rangitane Cultural Centre in Grovetown has donated the venue, NMIT and Community College Marlborough are on board as are many hairstylists, nail technicians and makeup artists. Co-ordinator Paula Taylor
says the committee is ‘blown away’ by the generosity. “We are overwhelmed by the generous heart of our pamperers and local businesses, they are amazing. “Those benefiting from this day are women with value and something to contribute to our community, they just need the boost to realise their own self worth,” she says. On the day there will be a personal stylist who will be talking to the women as well as entertainment and an inspirational speaker. While the majority of the event is organised, there are still a few things that the committee is hoping to get
including donations of spot prizes, vouchers and good quality secondhand clothing. “If there are any businesses looking to promote their products, we welcome donations which will go towards the pamper bags given to the women. “We are also looking for some more makeup artists who could volunteer their time on the day,” Paula says. Clothing donations can be dropped off at the Salvation Army office on Henry Street from Tuesday to Friday between 9am - 12 noon, or to the Sun office on High Street. For all other donations and information phone 577 5491.
Drug clean up in Marlborough By community constable Russ Smith Police have now arrested seven people believed to be linked to an organised drug network after search warrants were executed on several Marlborough homes late last week. Amongst the items seized were drugs, including methamphetamine, large sums of cash, and a variety of other items including a specialised copper detector worth $12,000.
Dozens of charges have been laid against the arrested individuals, including supplying methamphetamine, conspiring to supply methamphetamine, receiving stolen property, and possession of an offensive weapon. More charges are likely. While the Police operation has disrupted a well-organised drug-dealing network and prevented further methamphetamine entering our community through this
particular criminal network, the trade in methamphetamine is insidious and we all need to play a part in helping to keep our community safe from it. If you have information about the supply of drugs like methamphetamine, you can contact Crimestoppers completely anonymously and pass on what you know, phone 0800-555-111. If you want to speak to a Police member, ring Blenheim police on 578-5279.
