Kia Ora Friends and Whanau.

Sistema Whangarei - Toi Akorangi are having an Auction/Concert on Saturday 17th April at 3pm at The Old Library on Rust Ave in Whangarei.

The items will be on display from 10 am on Saturday morning at The Old Library so that you can see the beautiful works up close.

We hope to raise funds for our wonderful program so that young people can continue to develop as musicians and generally incredible people. We also hope to raise awareness of the fact that young people have many varied possibilities for greatness in their lives and we hope that the community will enjoy both the amazing artworks created by a young artist in our community (Zoe Watson) and also the wonderful performance by our very own Sistema students.

Please encourage your friends and whanau to come and enjoy the concert, make a donation and have some fun bidding.

Items include amazing artworks, tickets to the New Zealand Symphony, Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra, Professional Acupuncture, IT support, a guitar, earrings by Hayley Douglas, a Voucher for Property maintenance and many other items.

There are lots of amazing things happening for our young people at the moment and in order to keep up with their possibilities we need to continue to raise funds and raise awareness.

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!
