An East Auckland property has had 23,000 litres of water pumped out of it as a deluge continues to hammer the North Island. Maraetai resident Banks Laxon said his home was swamped by heavy rain overnight, with floodwaters creeping up to his door.

The Great Community Clean Up is all about taking ownership of the places we live and love - our neighbourhoods. It doesn't need to be anything big; picking up a little litter in your street, tidying up your favourite park, or removing bits and bobs from a nearby beach are all great events! Plus, register an event between 27 April and 3 May you could WIN great prizes.
So grab your flatmates, your kids, your neighbour or your whole street and head to a place that you love in your community and make a difference. Your contributions will help make your community a cleaner and happier place to live! #CleanUpNZ
Hi all,
We have got about 800kg frozen food that need to be disposed, just wondering if anyone know any pig farm(farmers) that would be interested to come and get them for free at Auckland Airport area(well, you have to have your own transport to pick them up though).

See our 5 top tips for cutting down your autumn power bill:
1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.

1. If you’re not using it, switch it off: If you’re not using an appliance, such as a heated towel, dryer, or TV, switch it off at the wall so it doesn’t use power on standby.
2. Change your cooking habits: Eat fresh veges instead of cooking. Using the oven for an hour a night can add $20 to your monthly power bill.
3. Use curtains to trap heat in: Let the sun heat your home during the day then close your curtains to stop the warmth escaping in the evening.
4. If you’re away, turn the hot water cylinder off: You can save up to $36 on your power bill if you switch your hot water cylinder off while away on weekends.
5. Make the most out of your FREE Hour of Power: Utilise power deals like Electric Kiwi’s free Hour of Power, which gives you one off peak hour of free power a day. Use this hour to heat your home, turn on the dishwasher, or run the washing machine and dryer.

The meeting will be a chance to network and chat with others and find out a bit about Rotary. Nibbles will be provided and there will be a cash bar.
It's a chance to hear what Rotary has to offer in the Pohutukawa Coast. Here's why you should be involved:
- Make a difference, raise funds for those in need, locally and globally
- You can achieve so much more working in a team rather than as an individual
- Make personal lifelong friendships across the community
- Develop your own talents, take ownership and gain experience running projects and performing roles
- Membership of an organisation such as Rotary commands respect, ensuring sure your Rotary voice is heard
We would love to see you there!
Regards
Alex Garden

If you did something with your neighbours and get a sudden urge to share it with us then don't fight that urge!! Share your story with us by emailing kiaora@neighboursday.org.nz, sharing to our facebook page, or submitting your story on our website. We LOVE seeing all the fun times and knowing that we're getting a little closer to knowing our neighbours and connecting with our communities. AND you don't have to wait till Neighbours Day 2018 to do it again. You can go say hi, invite them for a cuppa, or do a street bbq anytime. It makes a massive difference to our sense of belonging, safety and being part of a more resilient community.

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.
