Volunteers needed for Refugee Driver Training
"I can't forget last year's lockdown. It was hard to find someone to take me to buy food and supplies." - message from a single mother who got restricted licence through the Open Road Refugee Driver Training Programme
A big THANK YOU again to all our volunteer mentors who made a huge difference helping our learners to be test ready. It means a lot for them to gain independence and stay mobile for essential trips through lockdown and beyond.
We welcome new volunteer driver mentors as we gear to safely resume driving sessions for our refugee whānau at level 2. Check out resources drive.govt.nz... and know more about being a mentor here www.openroad.org.nz...

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.

Auckland Saxophone Ensemble Christmas concert!
Kia ora koutou,
I'd like to invite everyone to the Auckland Saxophone Ensemble's Christmas concert this Saturday at 7.30pm, where I've been invited to join the group on soprano and alto saxophones.
Join us for a festive evening of enchanting music as the Auckland Saxophone Ensemble celebrates the holiday season with a special Christmas concert!
We'll be playing music by Sergei Prokofiev, Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Tomaso Albinoni and more.
Calling all saxophonists! We invite all saxophone players in Auckland, from beginners to experienced musicians, to join our "Saxophone Orchestra" during the second half of the concert. To join, select the "Join the Saxophone Orchestra" ticket and let us know your level and which saxophone you'll be bringing. We'll send you the sheet music a few weeks before the concert - no rehearsal necessary!
