Hi to everyone.

Lonsdale Street - Street Sale

Lonsdale Street residents are holding a huge street/garage sale this Saturday 1 December. Residents are putting up tables or opening up their garages and selling stuff they no longer want or need.

So come on down for a look. You may find something you need or want!

It is being held from 9 am until 2 pm and the sun WILL be shining! There may even be a sausage sizzle!

If there are any further Lonsdale residents who want to join in please feel free. The more the merrier and a good time to have a bit of a cleanup before the crazy holiday season! And a few extra dollars in the pocket too.

Look forward to a fun filled day.

Regards

Meryl Buckland

Hi neighbours,

Christmas is supposed to be the jolliest time of year - full of whimsical family reunions, selfless gift-giving and Masterchef-worthy feasts.

But sometimes this just isn't captured on camera. We're after those amazingly awkward Christmas moments that have been captured on film.

Maybe it was the time you went to visit Santa and your little one didn't want a bar of it. Maybe it was a self-timed family shot that went horribly awry. Or a Christmas meal that was more a festive fail.

Whatever the not-so-merry moment, we want to see it! Share your pictures and a little bit about them with us in Stuff Nation. We look forward to seeing them! Here's the link to contribute.

Come along to our free public lecture: on Sunday, December 2nd at 2pm at The Sydenham Room, South Christchurch Library, 66 Colombo St.

For many people, it is time to explore a deeper meaning of life — to know thyself‚ as the ancient philosophers urged. One way to do this is through studying with the Rosicrucian Order.

You will explore how the human mind works, learn self healing techniques, unleash your full creative potential, empower yourself to achieve new goals, practise effective meditation to realise inner peace and harmony, and most importantly, discover your mystical connection with the universe. All this is done through home learning and personal experimentation, although there are local groups to join if you wish.

The Rosicrucian Order AMORC is nonprofit, non-religious, non-political. It is an international organisation — the largest of its kind in the western world — of educators, students and seekers exploring inner wisdom and the meaning of life.

To find out if The Rosicrucian Order can benefit you, go to the website www.amorc.org.au, or for the free, no obligation booklet Mastery Of Life phone 027 552 7777, or email nzrc@amorc.org.au
