Pump Track Tidy-up this Sunday 3rd Dec
Hi to all parents of kids who use the pump track and people who like to help in the community. This will tidy up the long grass around all the native plants and make the area a lot safer for those using the track
Help Rotary volunteers and spare an hour or so Sunday 3rd from 9 am to 11 am for a tidy-up of the track. Bring along your gardening gear, rakes, shovels, weed eater, and clippers to trim the weeds and groom the track.
Maybe your kids might like to help too.
Bring a hat and sunscreen, and enjoy a coffee with good company across at Narrowneck Cafe after the job is done.

Some Choice News!
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!
