"The time has come the walrus said, to speak of many things: of shoes and ships and sealing wax of cabbages and kings ..." thus spoke Lewis Carroll in his famous verse The Walrus and the Carpenter. The time has arrived after seven years of building capacity and resources for our communities in the Eastern Bay to pass the baton on to the next runner. The board of the Eastern Bay Community Foundation have appointed a new Engagement Manager - ex-pat Michael (Mike) Howe, who has returned home from Scotland after almost 30 years away from his hometown of Opotiki. In the coming months Mike will be out and about meeting and establishing himself with the Community Foundation.
