My last public engagement as as elected member!
Earlier this week, several volunteers working tirelessly on different aspects in our local community were acknowledged at the awards ceremony organised by the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board.
It was such a lovely event. It was so wonderful to see school students amongst the award recipients.
A pleasant surprise / bonus for me was meeting a teacher fromm Burnside High School who taught my daughter Neha Paranjape many moons ago!
This beautiful event brings an end to my public engagements as an elected member (Community Board member for Waimairi)
As an elected member for 3 terms, the sheer variety and number of community events I have been privileged to attend is mind-blowing. One thing is for sure - I will miss these events in Sydney!

I dance in the sky with green and gold, a spectacle few are lucky to behold; I’m best seen in the south, a celestial sight—what am I, lighting up the New Zealand night?

Flowers for free ????
Very disappointed that our front garden had a 14 bud Christmas Regal Lilly cut and taken with several others last night, but what it lead others to do was worse damage. They ripped out other flowers and some may not recover. Do not come back tonight, as we are cutting all of them today.
Some Choice News!
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!
