Dance Yourself Happy

Lindsay Upton from Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS)

While the rest of New Zealand is now set at COVID-19 Alert Level 1, yesterday's COVID-19 Alert Level 2 decision for Auckland wasn't quite the news we wanted.
While the upper limit for Level 2 mass-gatherings is 100 with 2-metre physical distancing, the All Saints' Community Centre has taken a more cautious approach. They've decided to wait for COVID-19 Alert Level 1 before the hall is made available for use again.
However on the positive side and if all goes to plan, we're only one step away from resuming 'Dance Yourself Happy' at 8pm on Thursday 8 October.
We'll keep you updated.
Kia kaha and keep dancing at home!

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 — 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!

We want to hear from you: would you be keen to switch to a fortnightly rubbish collection, or do you prefer things as they are?

Keen for the details? Read up about the scrapped collection trial here.
