Pyjama Drive for Winter

Cecily from Pukekohe

Last year the Franklin community pulled together to donate dozens of pairs of pyjamas to kids identified by their schools as being in need.
CAN WE MANAGE IT AGAIN THIS YEAR?

Working with Middlemore Foundation our goal is to get a new pair of pyjamas to each child before the cold weather arrives and colds and other winter ills increase. This project has a few local community trusts working together for the good of our children. Pyjamas can be left at the Pukekohe Anglican Church, 37 Queen St, or TopNotch Engraving at 28 King St, Pukekohe. We hope to add more drop-off points over the next week. We can provide a dedicated bank account number for this project if you'd prefer to make a donation instead of buying the pyjamas yourself. For more details contact Jan on 0274-521-366

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
