Movie Fundraiser during school holidays
The school holidays are nearly upon us, and if you are looking for something fun to do, join us at the Penthouse Cinema in Brooklyn, and help support the Karori Toy Library.
On Wednesday the 3rd of October, we will be screening the movie "Small Foot" at the Penthouse Cinema in Brooklyn, at 11am. The movie is being released in New Zealand at the end of September, so join us and be one of the first to view it!
Tickets are $15 each for children and adult alike - the kids will receive a fun goodie bag, and there will be some great spot prizes up for grabs!
All money raised from the fundraiser will go towards purchasing new toys or replacing/repairing old toys.
Please forward this to any one you know that might be interested, or looking for something to do with their kids during the holidays!
The event and more information can be found on Facebook: www.facebook.com...
Tickets available from Karori Toy Library during opening hours or contact karoritoylibraryfundraising@gmail.com
Share your New Zealand music memories...
It's NZ Music Month and New Zealand really has some beautiful songs from artists that we call our own.
Whether it's April Sun in Cuba, Don't Forget your Roots, or How Bizarre or Bic Runga's 'Sway' - songs have a way of unlocking memories and evoking old feelings.
In honour of NZ Music Month, share a New Zealand song or artist that is special to you and explain why.

And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...
A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.
The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.
The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'
Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!
