Successful Fundraising for Sweet Louise

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

πŸ’• Last Friday, the volunteers at Botany and Pakuranga CABs held a fundraiser for Sweet Louise. Sweet Louise supports men and women with advanced (incurable) breast cancer.

🌸 We enjoyed a shared lunch with quite a pink theme! The baking quiz wasn't as easy as some thought with the question about Snickerdoodle biscuits catching people out. But we had fun. πŸ™‚ Many thanks to the Social Team for making sure it was an occasion to remember. πŸ‘

Grateful thanks to our sponsors and supporters and a big shoutout to freshchoicehalfmoonbay for donating a very generous hamper for the occasion.

We would also like to thank Carolyn Bruce Designs - Statement Jewelry for donating some of her gorgeous work for our fundraiser. πŸ’•
We were thrilled to raise $1183. πŸ™

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 β€” 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!
