To all our members, the executive committee would be very grateful if you could attend the SGM on Sunday 3rd November. We require a quorum to accept the changes to the constitution that are a requirement of the 2022 Incorporated Societies Act. We also have Dr Shruthi Sateesh a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Otago speaking about her research in MS. And there is a free lunch 😀
This is also an opportunity to engage with the committee and let us know what we can do to help you.
Hope to see you there!
Claire Hargest (vice-president)

We really appreciate all of your support and we hope you had an absolutely fantastic time at our event!

We would love to hear your feedback on the Move for MS event and we would be grateful if you could take just a few minutes to fill in our feedback form.

Members of the public of all ages were enjoying the sun at Wingatui Racecourse on Sunday, for the inaugural Move for MS fundraiser run by the Otago Multiple Sclerosis Society.

This week Katie will be at the Monday support group at Vogel Street Kitchen at 11:30am on Monday the 7th of October and the North Otago support group at 11:30am at the Brydone Hotel cafe on Tuesday the 8th of October.

Good morning

We are pleased to see that the rain has settled overnight and it seems as though the worst of the weather seems to be behind us.

Our thoughts are with those who have been affected by the flooding and those who have clean up ahead of them.

We have made the decision to go ahead with the Move for MS event tomorrow as planned. We believe that with the stressful events of the last few days that giving people the opportunity to come together and have fun is important.

Please be aware that the flooding has impacted some of our vendors and therefore some stalls may be different than previously advertised.

We have also had some volunteers affected so there may be some longer waits for some activities.

If you have already bought a ticket and you have been impacted by the flooding and are therefore no longer able to attend please email [email protected] for us to organise a refund for you.

Ticket sales close at 11:59pm tonight so if you want to come along and race please make sure you buy your tickets today!

If you want to come along and not race please feel free to do so! Just turn up after 11am at Wingatui Racecourse.

Good morning everyone.

Our thoughts are with those affected by the current flooding in the Dunedin and Otago area.

We would like to remind everyone to please follow the guidelines put out by our emergency management team who are working so hard to protect our area and and our people.

If you need assistance please call DCC on 03 477 4000
If you require emergency assistance please call 111

Take care of yourselves, and each other as we work through this event and the recovery period once the rain subsides tonight.

Thank you Brenda for coming to talk with Lorraine and Katie about our Move for MS event.
