Fundraising for the Patoka/ Puketitiri/ Rissington community.

Diana from Matamata

Hi neighbours, I wanted to feel like I was doing something to help people massively affected by the cyclone, so I have 'adopted' this community. A chopper will be flying much needed goods into them and this Give a Little page (see link below) is to fundraise for that. If you have animal feed you would be willing to donate: dog, cat, chicken or calf food, I am willing to take a load down to Taupo to the chopper base. I live near Matamata and could collect feed between here and Taupo. Please contact me if you could donate some feed and if we get enough for a load, I will go down on Tuesday or Wednesday. If you prefer to donate cash to Give a Little, any amount would be most welcome. Many thanks.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
