Save Te Horo Hall fundraiser
I am running a scavenger/treasure hunt, car rally event on 26th May to raise funds for the refurbishments needed to make the Te Horo Community Hall earthquake resilient.
Directions are given to follow a route and clues to identify markers along the way. There will also be a list of items to collect along the route.
This is intended as a family activity, although not exclusive; a group of friends would have equally as much fun. The cost is $40 per car; all funds go to the cause.
It would be really helpful to get an idea of numbers interested in this event. Please let me know, no commitment required, if this is of interest to you.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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!
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!
