This one is pretty simple. You're a Neighbourly member so connecting with your community is obviously pretty important to you. So this tip is more of a challenge; this year (or this weekend!) make it your mission to meet someone new living near you.

Here's a few things you can do to get you started:
- use the Neighbours Directory to find neighbours on your street.
- introduce yourself on Neighbourly to those living in your neighbourhood. Just a few words about yourself and what brought you here.
- Give something away or sell something! A Neighbourly exchange gives you a chance to meet someone new.
- just head out the door and knock on someone else's!

Remember 86% of Kiwis want to get to know their neighbours better, but just don't see them around much (71%). Take the first step!

Hi Neighbours,

Are there any budding Music Conductors out there who would be interested in taking over the Risingholme Singers choir, founded in 1947. Unfortunately, we had to say goodbye to our lovely Conductor, Khin Wee Chen, and now have to find a new Conductor by February 13th, or as soon as possible thereafter.
We have around 45 members in the choir, of all ages, and we are a friendly and happy bunch of people, like one big family, now without a “Father”! We need someone to look after us and put us in our place!
The choir has performed all kinds of music, which has included music from the 70’s era, i.e. Abba, Queen, Simon and Garfunkel, etc., Gilbert & Sullivan Mikado and Pirates of Penzance, music from movies, such as Fiddler on the Roof, and music from the Messiah.
We rehearse in the lounge at the Opawa Baptist Church on Monday evenings, during School Terms, from 7.30pm – 9.30pm.
An honorarium would be paid to the Conductor, for their services to the choir.
If you, or anyone you know, would be interested in taking on our choir, could you please contact our President, Jill Willmott, on (03) 388 3235 or at jwillmott@xtra.co.nz
