Community Christmas Trees - Gifts For Kids Update
A very big THANK YOU for all the amazingly generous gifts we have discovered under the trees at Kaiapoi's Westpac Bank, Library and New World.
We had some large amazing gift packs left at New World this week, some very well stocked bags hidden behind the tree at Westpac and a box of beautiful gifts for all ages at the library...just a name a few.
Each year it blows me away how open hearted and generous people are to the kids in our community.
Keep them coming in, there are still 10 sleeps to Christmas. Remember ...
* Keep them new
* Consider the older siblings
and get them in quick!!!!

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
