Looking for volunteers for Pink Ribbon Street Appeal 2019
Hi Community! We’re on the look out for volunteers to help us collect for the Pink Ribbon Street Appeal on Friday 11 & Saturday 12 October.
Donating just two hours of your time will help us raise vital funds for Breast Cancer Foundation New Zealand.
This is our second year as an area coordinator and I would really love to meet more amazing members of our community 😀
We have included the times that we still need to fill in the photos. If you're free and would like to help please PM me with your email and contact number and I can sign you up. (some times will become unavailable as volunteers sign up)
Thanks so much
Roy and Sarah

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

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!
