CHEAPEST COFFEE IN UPPER HUTT?

Kate from Trentham

If you're in the vicinity of Upper Hutt this Saturday, 3 April, you might like to try what we think must be the cheapest morning tea anywhere! For $5 you can have a pot of tea or percolated coffee PLUS a slice of home baking or toasted cheese/relish sandwich!! Can that be beaten - we don't think so! We hope to have a Home Baking Table with items for sale, too. You'll find the MONTHLY FUNDRAISER CAFE inside the Community Centre, UHBC, corner Fergusson Drive and Milton Street, Trentham any time between 10am and midday. The talented Glenn Campbell will be singing and playing guitar while you enjoy morning tea.

Out in the car park, you'll find the CAR BOOT SALE to browse and snap up that bargain. To book a site for $10, phone 528-3454. ALL PROCEEDS from the Cafe and Car Boot Sale go to Circuit International's work in Myanmar to improve the lives of poor and disadvantaged people. Check out the website for details of their projects - it's very worthwhile work and was started by a New Zealand couple with big hearts!

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱

Gerda Takes On Te Reo Maori!

Shona McFarlane Retirement Village

This year Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, Māori Language Week, is being held from September 16 to 23. It’s an important week encouraging all of Aotearoa to use te reo Māori in everyday life. Similarly, Mahuru Māori promotes speaking and celebrating te reo throughout the month of September.

Over the last couple of years, Gerda, a resident at Diana Isaac Village in Christchurch, has grown her Māori vocabulary by attending the virtual monthly te reo Māori classes offered to Ryman residents. This group learning environment is run by Anita Gill from Te Puna Reo Māori, a Māori online learning provider.
