Autumn Harvesting
Guavas, figs, quince, pears, apples and feijoas are now being harvested in the Auckland region. Community Fruit Harvesting volunteers pick this fruit, that is growing unwanted or to excess in people's back garden or orchards. We have volunteers who turn some of the fruit into jams, jellies, chutneys, sauces and give the fresh fruit and preserves to food banks, refuges, Age concern, etc. Would you like to help us? If you would like to learn how, we have people locally that can teach you. It is so rewarding to turn unwanted fruit into delicious preserves to give to those in need. Every bit help, even if it is just to wash some of the fruit and put it into bags for the freezer.
For all the new immigrants, elderly or lonely : you could get together and have a regular preserving afternoon - joining in a social occasion, but also helping your community. If you would like to help and we DO need you, then please contact pickfruit@xtra.co.nz
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
