Free - Pseudopanax tree

Wendy from Somerfield

Anyone is welcome to take this tree away, its sitting on the grass outside 24 Stanbury Ave, Somerfield.  It was dug out a while ago and is still going strong.  Will need two people to lift as pretty heavy...please, please just take away, sick of looking at it and shifting it to mow the lawn!

Lisa Heatley from Enable Fibre Broadband

Easy! Just call your broadband retailer and ask to be switched to fibre broadband - you can check it's available first by going to our website www.enable.net.nz...

Easy! Just call your broadband retailer and ask to be switched to fibre broadband - you can check it's available first by going to our website www.enable.net.nz...
If you're in our coverage area, your retailer will contact us and we'll call you to arrange this in three steps. If you own your own home and don't share a driveway, usually fibre connections will go something like this:
1. PLAN - meet you at your home to agree a plan on how to get fibre to your home
2. BUILD - you don't need to be home for this, we'll do the build we agreed on
3. CONNECT! We'll visit your home again to finish setting up your fibre broadband connection.
Better yet - if you're in the Christchurch City Council area, order fibre before 30 November and you'll go in the draw to win one of ten $100 gift vouchers to Christchurch stores. www.enable.net.nz...

Rotary International.

Rotary! You have heard of it…but what is it? Rotary International is a service club like no other. We serve in this community and thousands of other communities around the world. With 1.2 million members in over 35,000 clubs globally, Rotary is well placed to reach out when a positive outcome is desired or needed. Christchurch has over a dozen Rotary clubs made up of members just like you and me. People wanting to put something back into our community at many levels.

So what have we at Rotary Club of Christchurch South achieved of late?
This month at a weekly meeting (04/10/17), we made a donation to a local decile 2 school for uniforms to kit out their basketball team. No big deal? Maybe not, but without the uniforms the team would not exist, or certainly not be able to compete as an equal with other well-turned-out teams. Now they can.

And what of the past? What has Rotary achieved? How’s this for starters…

Locally:
Community donations, community building projects, public environmental seminars, student exchanges, youth development, school speech contests, charity collections, medical research assistance, vocational interaction and much much more.

Nationally:
Crippled children’s Society (CCS), First Health Camps, First Karitane hospital, Defensive driving courses, Kidney Foundation, Riding for disabled, Asthma Society, First mobile TB clinic, Milk in schools, Outward Bound, Ellerslie flower show!

Internationally:
In partnership with the World Health Organisation Rotary has played a major role (over $1b NZD donated) in the now almost-eradicated disease, polio. Peace scholarships, Group study Exchanges, Ambassadorial scholarships, Youth exchanges, Conflict resolution, Literacy and education, Water projects and much more.

Interested? The Rotary Club of Christchurch South meets on most Wednesday evenings, 6pm, at the Cashmere Club in Colombo Street, Beckenham. Please come and join us for a meeting or two and see if Rotary is an organisation that interests you. Call Alan Airay on 027 895 5409 or 337 0835 and he will confirm meeting dates. E-mail airay@xtra.co.nz if preferred.

We look forward to meeting you and extend the hand of friendship and fellowship in the name of Rotary.
