The nationwide Jennian Homes Mother’s Day Fun Run/Walk returns this year, offering women the chance to have fun, get active and support a worthy cause.

Sunday 14th May 2017 at 8:30am – 11:30am
Lake Hayes Pavilion - 1/719 Gibbston Hwy

There’s a reason we run this event every year. Heart disease is the single biggest killer of Kiwi women, claiming the lives of over 3,000 women each year. We have partnered up with the Heart Foundation to support its ‘Heart Foundation for Women’ campaign, which aims to help stop our women dying prematurely of heart disease.

Join us for a 5km run, walk or leisurely stroll this Mother’s Day.
With 20+ events nationwide, it’ll be a great start to the day and you’ll be doing your bit to help beat heart disease.

All participants will receive a Dick Frizzell designed event t-shirt.

Have a heart of gold - support the St John Annual Appeal

St John New Zealand

Have a heart of gold and support the St John Annual Appeal 3-9 April.

The heart is the essence of life and has inherently warm and caring connotations. It also reflects the good that St John does in the community, and invites those who contribute to feel like they too have a heart of gold.

Old Brochures - would any schools or kindy's like them?

Laura from Waitaki District

Hi everyone,
We at House of travel hate throwing good things away, so we're wondering if any schools or kindergartens would appreciate older catalogues and brochures to cut up and use?
Please private message me if you're keen!

A Panoramic Sunrise.

Michael from Waitaki District

I captured this panoramic a few weeks ago at the Shag Point Beach. It was a very warm morning and the photo turned out awesome. I thought I would share it to show how good the weather can be down here.

Sunrise on the East Coast

Michael from Waitaki District

Caught this photo a few weeks ago of a reservoir reflecting the Sunrise just before the Ocean in the distance. Spied it in the rear vision mirror as I was driving back to Oamaru from Dunedin. Might post some more if people are enjoying seeing them.

Under the Stars - Homeless in Tauranga
We are a Charitable Trust feeding the homeless and needy. We supply hygiene necessities, blankets, and clothing for those in need. We are also fortunate to have a hairdresser occasionally on site who gives her services for free. Recently we have begun to hold a drop in afternoon every second Thursday, giving people the opportunity to have a light lunch and a chance to chat. We are hoping to develop this afternoon more by offering a variety of creative arts. The volunteers that commit time and energy towards our meals do so mostly out of their own funds.

Proposed youth centre for Keith Street Wanganui central district
I propose the opening and running of a youth centre based in Keith street or Wanganui cbd. The benefits of having a youth centre in the community will bring together the younger and older generations, so we can learn from each others mistakes and experiences to enhance each other’s lives. We have a mixture of people from different cultures in our society in such a small radius that sometimes we forget about those who really are struggling with life, and they are the most vulnerable people in our society. I want to change that for the better, and help those people that are struggling to survive on the basic benefit or wages. VOTE NOW!
