Alison from Aokautere - Fitzherbert

Ruahine Kindergarten Association (RKA) is now accepting applications from brides for the 50th annual Bride of the Year fundraiser taking place at the Regent Theatre on Friday 8 November 2019.

After almost half a century, what was the main fundraiser organized by parents and teachers of Somerset Kindergarten, will now be organized by RKA for the benefit of all Ruahine Kindergartens, Early Learning and Home-Based services.

The focus for 2019 is to raise funds to deliver Positive Parenting Programmes at no cost to parents throughout the RKA community. RKA is seeking sponsors for this event.

Brides must have been married between 1 September 2017 and 31 August 2019. In addition, they must be living, or have settled within the Manawatu, South Rangitikei, Foxton or Pahiatua.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

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!
