Volunteers needed for hand stitching blankets for cold kids
Can anyone lend a hand on Thursday evenings to help hand sew our beautiful blankets that we give to local kids in need.
We meet every Thursday at the YMCA Mt Albert.
6.30 to 8.30pm
Mostly all hand stitching. No previous skills needed. We can teach you running stitch and blanket stitch. Come and sit with a lovely group of people, and make a difference to a child. We provide herbal tea and biscuits.
Call Yolande if you would like to register, or if you would like to give a donation instead. We have run out of funds to buy our next round of fabrics. Or donate fabric (long rolls of polar fleece, or velvet, or wool.....no small pieces of fabric needed)

Come on, we’d love to meet you, and the blankets are very special.
Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we're 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.

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.
