Join the Te Upoko region on the LIANZA website and win!

Earlier this year, LIANZA launched it's new website. After a few early technical problems, we've sorted out the major glitches and are making progress on getting the site into great shape for our members (see WAG for more information on this).

We want to make the new site a great place to go with an active community. To do so, we'd like to encourage you all to sign up to the website, and join the Te Upoko o te Ika a Maui group on the Communities page. We've noticed that lots of people have listed the region on their personal profile, but not joined the Te Upoko community group. Our aim is to have all our regional communications going through the website, so we'd like to get as many of you signed up as possible!

As an added incentive, we have $30 book vouchers for two people who join up to the Te Upoko community group between now and Friday 1 October - that's just over 1 week away! We'll randomly draw names from all the new people that join up. It only takes a couple of minutes to do so (instructions below).

We will contact the lucky winners personally, and post the results on the LIANZA website.

Good luck!
