Gratitude for the community's support
Reflecting on last Friday’s book launch for Memories of the Royal Family A Kiwi Collection fills me with immense gratitude. The support from our community on the day was overwhelming! The buzz in the room was a testament to the power of storytelling, and the strength of our community. It was clear that this collection of stories, written by our Write Your Story community, holds a special place in the hearts of many and generated lively discussion at the tables.
The journey from concept to publication of this book has been a labour of love. Seeing this collection of stories in the hands of the contributors, and other readers was a dream come true. It is a reminder that every story matters, and that our voices have the power to inspire, educate and unite us. A couple of people remarked that this publication was collector’s item!
Reflecting on last Friday’s event I am filled with gratitude for everyone who played a part in making it a success. I loved the way in which people got into the spirit of the event, dressed up for the occasion, and taking the lead from our Mayor Janet Holborow joined in a lively impromptu rendition of ‘God Save the King’. A big THANK YOU to the individuals who shared their memorabilia on the display table for others to enjoy and to friends and family who helped organise, cater, and bring the celebratory event to life, and those who helped to clean up afterwards. It was a reminder than when we come together as a community we can achieve incredible things. Ngā mihi nui.

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!
Poll: Would you participate in local initiatives aimed at stopping plastic from reaching our oceans?
Volunteers will be scouring the foreshore, riverbanks, and islands for rubbish on Saturday the 13th as part of the Clean Up the Hutt event.
This initiative helps stop plastic from reaching our oceans and makes our waterways cleaner and safer for everyone.
We want to know: Should this be rolled out across all coastal cities in Aotearoa? And more importantly… would you get involved? 💚
