Neighbourly's Good News
Although all of us local Christchurch folks have experienced a considerable amount in hardship over several years, (i.e. major Canterbury Earthquakes, Terrorist Mosque Attacks and associated Lockdowns; via various Pandemic Health & Safety related processes etc.) I was so surprised to learn something much more pleasant just prior to New Years day 2021. As this was in receiving notification for being publicly listed within the New Years Honours for services to Mental Health. Therefore on the 3rd May, 2021 am being presented (by the Governor General of NZ) with a "New Zealand Order of Merit" on behalf of the Queen. Although I wasn't expected in receiving this special award it appears all the hard work (which has been mostly voluntarily and for over 30 years) i have completed in assisting this highly challenging health related issue is being officially acknowledged. However and finally would like to sincerely thank everyone involved, especially certain special folks whom gave me an opportunity (including encouragement and support) to continue in completing all of this work.

Course placement
Hey I'm in Christchurch and I was wondering if anyone knows of any places apart from SPCA that handle cats and/or dogs that are looking for volunteers as I need to do 40hrs with cats and cats before September I also need to handle other small animals before June 23rd to pass module 3 any help greatly appreciated
Greeting customers costs nothing
I went to New World Bishopdale this am. Deli dept. the young person just looked at me at the counter, no acknowledgement at all. I asked what I wanted and couldn’t resisting saying, how’s your day going? Staff need training like at Mitre 10. Acknowledge the customer!! Hello, what can I help you with today and smile? Not a lot to ask but younger people seem to lack basic greeting manners. Have you found this? Maybe I’m just expecting too much!!
