In 2020, for the first time in history, Anzac Day Services across New Zealand have been cancelled due to COVID-19. Even though public Anzac Services are unable to go ahead, it does not mean that the tradition of remembering and commemorating our veterans and service personnel should be cancelled too. The RSA and New Zealand Defence Force would like you to join us to remember those who given their lives for our country. This is a time to pay respect and acknowledge the many thousands of our military people who are serving or have served, who are called upon to support New Zealand in times of war, conflict and disasters. Listen to Newstalk ZB at 6:00 am on Saturday 25 April for the morning service. Stand at your letterbox, at the front door, in your lounge rooms, balconies, in your driveway. Wherever you are in the world, stand with us and take a moment to remember our fallen – but please stay within your ‘bubble’. Veterans are encouraged to wear their medals just as they would for the official public gathering.
The morning service includes:
=========================
***The Last Post
***Ode of Remembrance
***National Anthem
***Address by Hon. Ron Mark, Minister of Defence / Minister for Veterans

The majority of the trespasses were for threatening behaviour (51), abusive behaviour (41), theft (33), graffiti tagging (14) and intoxication (nine).
Five people were trespassed from several libraries for multiple offences or where serious types of offending posed significant risk to staff at other sites. Three people were banned from all libraries for offences listed in the article below.
Despite this, an Auckland Council spokeswoman said its libraries were safe and welcoming for Aucklanders wanting to connect, read and learn, and trespass notices were issued in "rare and isolated cases, with no evident patterns". Library staff were trained in conflict awareness.
May this holy month be the start of your happiness that brings you good fortune and prosperity. Good Wishes for a joyous Ramadan and a Happy New Year with plenty of peace and prosperity.
Ramadan Mubarak to you and your Family!
