We have recently been notified of an incorrect number listed in the Pittwater Offshore Directory. POD) The contact number is for WIRES, the native animal rescue group. The number is apparently listed as 8966 3333. This number belongs to a music distributor in the city.

Please amend your records to read 8977 3333 as the correct WIRES rescue phone number.

The Women’s Forum is a wonderful opportunity to network and socialise with other women living on the northern beaches. As a lead-up to International Women’s Day on 8 March, Forum guests can listen to speakers with interesting and topical stories to inspire understanding and peace in the community. Guest speakers include Sunita Kotnala, Ethnic Communities Liaison Officer with Northern Beaches Police. Sunita will speak of the history of women in times of war and their role as peacemakers. She will also give an overview of her new role on the northern beaches. A representative from the Muslim Women Association will speak on experiences of Islamic women living in Australia today. The Forum will also launch T@lk W@ll - Pittwater International Women’s Group, a support network for women from other countries now living on the northern beaches.

The Community Vehicle would like to enter into an arrangement with willing hands on the Island. With the increasing use of the new vehicle our casual methods of obtaining fuel are no longer working for us. We would like to offer the opportunity for someone on the Island to get paid for collecting fuel for the vehicle on a regular basis. We need roughly 60 litres of unleaded fuel each fortnight, a task that would take approximately two hours. If you are interested in earning some extra money, and helping the community too, please contact Harriet Stacey. 99792809
