We meet on Thursday evenings and invite you to join us for this term’s festive programme, starting this Thursday, 19 October. Come and have fun singing old favourite carols and learning a few new ones! They are taught by ear with the emphasis on fun rather than perfection but we do often surprise ourselves with how beautiful we sound! Come and explore well-known carols and some more unusual ones from around the world and different eras. For more information, please ring or txt Pam on 021 046 4841 – or leave a message and she’ll ring you back.
So far hundreds of you have filled in our power survey and 66% of you say that price is the main reason for choosing a power company. What are your thoughts? Fill in our short Power Survey and one lucky Neighbourly member will win a $500 Prezzy® card.
Phew! We've just had national Get Ready week, Mental Health Awareness week and the last week of school holidays! I bet some children (and parents) are wondering where the time has gone! Life’s a bit like that; often the things we plan to do just kind of disappear in our busy lives.

Planning for an emergency isn’t much different. Trying to get everything done all at once can sometimes seem overwhelming. So, how about breaking it down step-by-step? Start with developing a household plan. On the weekend, look at making your home safer. Start saving large plastic drink bottles (not milk bottles) and store some water. Spread the cost by buying a few extra items each week for your household emergency kit (such as canned food, torch batteries).
And most importantly, keep on building those links with your neighbours – they’re your first source of support in an emergency. And if you’d like to know more – just ask me.
