CAN WE DO IT? OF COURSE WE CAN! IF WE WORK TOGETHER.
We have seen many times before just how generous the people of Pukekohe are.
As we all know, the nights are getting cold and 213 Franklin children have been identified by their teachers as needing a pair of nice warm pyjamas to keep them toasty on these chilly nights.
We are very grateful for the generous donations we have received so far. These pyjamas go direct to the children in our community who have been identified as needing them now.
Here are numbers and sizes of pyjamas we are short of.

14: Girls x 3

Total pairs needed: Boys 125, Girls 88
Pyjamas can be left at Franklin County News, Pukekohe Travel, Top Notch or Pukekohe Anglican Church or text Jan on 0274521 366 and we will arrange for them to be collected. Maybe you could collect some for us at your office or place of work or amongst your friends.
Thank you for supporting our local community as we try to keep our children warm and out of hospital.
This is a Middlemore Foundation project run with our Franklin Health Locality, Pukekohe Community Action and Pukekohe Anglican Church plus our wonderful community.
MANY MANY THANKS
WELL DONE FRANKLIN!

However we are still hoping for more pyjamas
to help keep our children warm and out of hospital on these cold nights.
This week 39 pairs of pyjamas have come in reducing the shortfall from
213 to 174.
When we meet our goal, 403 children will have been provided with
a new warm pair of pyjamas, as their schools have requested.
Yes in total 190 pairs of pyjamas have been received so far.
We are almost half way.
Pyjamas to go direct to vulnerable children in our community can be left at Pukekohe Travel, Franklin County News, Top Notch or Pukekohe Anglican Church Office.
This project is running in conjunction with the Middlemore foundation.

The shellfish beds are decimated and soon the shore birds will be affected as their food sources decline. Marine Reserves are a place for wildlife to live and be protected, not a place to die. This Marine Reserve is a jewel in the crown of the Hauraki Gulf.
Canoe & Kayak has donated $2500.00 to kick off a fundraising campaign to Save the Shellfish.
Your donation will go directly towards helping to raise awareness with the public, developers, Auckland Council, and central Government, and contracting specialists for advice, monitoring, testing and technical support, so the Long Bay Okura Great Park Society can continue to help protect this stunning area.
Join with us and donate to make a difference - thank you for your support.
We want to help you and the communities with messages you want to hear.

Formerly in the United States, I worked as a small business consultant/coach for growing e-commerce and retail founders before coming to New Zealand. Now that I'm here in Waiuku, I'm keen to get to work on just about anything really.
If you know of or own a small business keen to have a highly experienced business assistant with a strong work ethic, please feel free to make an introduction. Open to short-term project-based work or longer-term full or part-time work as a standard employee.
Also, I've taught violin lessons for several years and would consider accepting a few students who are passionate to learn and committed to practice. All ages encouraged! I can start at 6 or 7 years old depending on the student's attitude and parent's commitment to ensuring consistent practice.
I look forward to hearing from you!

This winter, St John urges the public to prioritise health & wellbeing. The most important thing you can do is be immunised against influenza and seek advice from a health professional if you are unwell. Each winter the surge of 111 ambulance calls continues to increase, which despite St John’s best efforts to triage and treat people in-home, places a lot of pressure on the ambulance service and the hospital emergency departments.
St John has issued five key messages to the public to help them look after themselves and each other this winter – read them here: goo.gl...

The incidence of bowel cancer in younger adults is rising in New Zealand. 10% of bowel cancer patients are under 50 – that’s more than 300 a year. Each year about 3,000 New Zealanders are diagnosed with the disease and more than 1,200 will die. That’s as many as breast and prostate cancer combined.
