CAN YOU SPARE A MEAL - raising money to end Homelessness
Splice have gone out to the restaurants of the neighbourhood this month asking if they can "spare a meal" to be auctioned over Trade Me, with all money raised going to the Lifewise Big Sleepout 2017.

We put it to them that feeding the homeless was one option but feeding those prepared to bid at auction, to dine in their fine establishments was another.
Now it's our turn. If you like great food in a nice restaurant and you are concerned about those neighbours for whom “home” has little permanence, warmth or safety – dive on into the auctions and make your contribution to the solution.
Click on the link to Trade Me below to see all of the auctions.
The restaurants have all given a specific dollar value to their vouchers but Splice ask that you consider matching their generosity and going a little further adding a little more on top in your bidding.
community + business + neighbours = a better neighbourhood for all
Here's a list of all the generous establishments taking part:
MONSOON POON
CAFÉ HANOI
MARVEL GRILL
The HIPGROUP - Amano, Ortolana, Milse
GEMMAYZE ST
CARMEN JONES
CITIZEN Q
SAIGON
The LANTERN ALLEY
MADAME GEORGE
THE CAKER

Noise Levels in Auckland
Hi peps,
I've noticed that during the evenings the noise levels seem to be staggeringly loud, at peak sleeping hours between 11pm and 4am. There are helicopters, cleaning vehicles, aeroplanes, construction noises from trucks. Has anyone else noticed these noise levels? Would anyone be …View moreHi peps,
I've noticed that during the evenings the noise levels seem to be staggeringly loud, at peak sleeping hours between 11pm and 4am. There are helicopters, cleaning vehicles, aeroplanes, construction noises from trucks. Has anyone else noticed these noise levels? Would anyone be willing to sign a petition to bring a blanket ban to these noise levels over the residential areas in Auckland?
It's time to stop procrastinating about KiwiSaver
Hi Neighbours. My name is Jeremy, I’m a KiwiSaver adviser and an Auckland Central local.
You may have read things in the media recently about hundreds of thousands of Kiwis not making the most of their KiwiSaver accounts. Kiwis work hard to contribute money to KiwiSaver so why is it that so …View moreHi Neighbours. My name is Jeremy, I’m a KiwiSaver adviser and an Auckland Central local.
You may have read things in the media recently about hundreds of thousands of Kiwis not making the most of their KiwiSaver accounts. Kiwis work hard to contribute money to KiwiSaver so why is it that so many people do not get advice that could make them hundreds of thousands of dollars better off at retirement? For most people, getting advice is simply a job they intend to do but never get round to. Today is the day to stop procrastinating!
I offer a 30 min free advice session for anyone wanting to learn how to make the most of their KiwiSaver savings. If you attend you will get a one year membership to the Generate Frequent Values Reward Program, and valuable information that could help make your retirement a much better experience.
Get in touch today by emailing me at jeremy.thomas@generatekiwisaver.co.nz, phoning me on 021 837 430 or visiting our website and we can set up a free chat.

handyman to install door latches
I am looking to installing one or two latches at both outdoor gates. As they are not easy accessible from both side, the installation might not be as obvious as it should be. Please come to take a look and help me to figure it out! I am in Sandringham, thanks
What do you think?
Do you have a view on how important more local parks and community facilities are? Should our natural heritage be so considered in our decision making? Is the economy going to be supported enough? What about the arts? Is transport likely to improve under our three year plan?

We are using a technique called "lasagna gardening":
To do this, We need cardboard and freshly-raked leaves, to create a biodegradable base layer that is a barrier to stop the weeds getting through!
We also need your coffee grounds, tea bags, egg shells, grass clippings and any fruit/vege scaps for our compost layer!!
This is a really exciting time for our garden, as we are starting to establish a system of bokashi and larger scale worm/ regular composting too!
Please bring your organic waste (especially cardboard and leaves!), and maybe pop into the garden to check it out for yourself ;-)
