Community Upcycling Sewing Bee

Sylvia Heywood from Soroptimist International North Shore

We're excited to invite you to our Community Sewing Bee to support raising awareness of Ovarian Cancer and research.
On average 371 females are diagnosed with ovarian cancer in New Zealand each year, with one woman dying from the disease approximately every 48 hours!
We will be sewing, chatting, and creating for a good cause. Upcycling donated clothing into beautiful, sellable items to raise funds for ovarian cancer. If you sew, bring along your machine and join in the fun. If you don't sew, that's ok too - there are plenty of ways to help. Everyone is welcome, no experience needed.
Saturday 25 October
Rothesay Bay Hall, Cnr Rothesay Bay Road & Beulah Ave.
Drop in any time between 10am & 3pm
Tea & Coffee provided
All ages welcome
Let's stitch together for a good cause.
RSVP sinorthshore@siseap.org

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!
