From: Wendy Perkins < wendypaddle@icloud.com > Date: 23 November 2019 at 09:39:08 NZDT To: admin@wakaama.co.nz Subject: Canadian paddler staying in Auckland Looking for accommodation Kia Orana. I am the Commodore of Wai Nui Canoe Club in Canada, and one of my summer staff has a four month University co-op placement in Auckland as an architecture student with a firm based in Kingsland, starting in January till the end of April. He is a first rate young man and a first rate flatwater Paddler, with some outrigger and SUP experience, although he does not know how much time he would have to get on the water while there. I’m wondering if you have any way of distributing a message to Paddler’s who live within a reasonable distance, seeking a room and board or room let situation. I’m more than happy to speak as his reference. Any help would be appreciated as he is on a budget and has not found anything below $200 a week. Wendy Perkins
