The Biggest Little Frock - Update

Zebunisso from Waikanae

as previously posted, we have been working on the date and got an approval hence the update on the Biggest Little Frock in Waikanae which will be Waikanae Beach Hall, 22a Raupara St, On Saturday 17th August starting from 7 p.m.
Below are the details that may answer some of the questions some of you may have
How to be part of The Biggest Little Frock Swap in Waikanae Beach!
1. Message or email us to reserve your ticket. We’ll send you the bank account details to deposit money. Once deposited, we’ll send you your ticket and the drop off addresses. Note: your space isn’t guaranteed until we have received payment. Now, let the fun begin!

2. The next step is to declutter your wardrobe. We’ve all got items that aren’t past their “use by” date, yet we never wear. Maybe we’ve lost or gained a few kilos, or we never have the right occasion. And we’ve all fallen guilty to that impulse buy that never sees the light of day.

If this seems a little daunting, invite that one friend around to make a night of it. You’ll need wine, a full length mirror and chocolate to really embrace this process.

3. Ensure your swaps are in good condition (no holes, stains, broken zips, etc). They should be clean and recently ironed (if necessary). Then drop them off to one of the drop-off points at LEAST one week prior to the Frock Swap.

POINTERS:

1. Your items don’t have to be frocks (any item of clothing is accepted, and accessories such as hats, jewelry, scarfs, bag and shoes are also welcome).

2. Your items don’t have to be “designer” – we’ll accept everything from The Warehouse to World, Kmart to Karen Walker!

3. There is no set number of items you need to donate, but we recommend 3+, so that we have a good selection for you to shop from.

4. The number of items you donate is not linked to the number you can free shop (frop?) on the night.

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!

Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.

This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.

We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚

Want the details? The Post has you covered.
