You can nominate a champion in your neighbourhood by emailing kiaora@neighboursday.org.nz with the story, a picture if you have one, and your neighbourhood champion's contact number or address if you have it so we can get in touch with the if they win.

I've started up a Facebook group called Tron Rocks.
It's based off some successful groups in the lower North Island.
The idea is that you paint and hide rocks at parks, playgrounds etc for other people to come along after you and find them. After finding them, you can keep or re-hide them somewhere else for others to find.
It's only just started - so only a couple of places have rocks hidden but the more people that get into it, the cooler it becomes!
Find out more information here or search "Tron Rocks" on Facebook!
