Charity Shops
I work at a Charity Shop as a volunteer and am really disappointed with people that steal from these shops. People from all ages and races steal from Charity shops. It dosen't matter how you do it, either by swapping tickets or coloured paper, taking prices off the item, and getting it a lower price, it is stealing. You are stealing from organisations that need the money. The Sallies use theirs to help those in the community with budgeting, counselling etc, the SPCA helps the animals, and the Hospice/Dove shops help those that are dying of a incurable disease. Non of these shops or organisations are government funded, and if they are, they do not get enough to keep the organisations running year after year. People who are kind enough to donate goods, expect those shops to get the best price possible for what they donate. So to you who thieve from these shops remember who you are stealing from, it could be one of your family members that need help from these organisations or it could be yourself. Majority of those shops do have cameras and yes we often check the videos and take photos of you. So we become aware of who you are. So Beware it could be your picture in the shop window.

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!
