Cancer doesn’t stop, and with your help, we won’t either. More New Zealanders will get cancer this year than ever before and no one should face cancer alone. Just $24 helps get someone to treatment. Please give generously this Daffodil Day so we can continue to be a lifeline for people with cancer and their whānau.

The year of the rabbit will be celebrated across the four-day cultural festival, which will be moved to Manukau Sports Bowl for the first time since the festival began in 2000.
It was last held at the Auckland Domain in 2019, but that lease has expired. It was then planned for Auckland Showgrounds in February 2022 but was called off due to Covid.
The free event is the largest cultural festival in the region and will feature hundreds of handmade lanterns displayed throughout the park.

Recognising excellence, leadership and innovation in the New Zealand utility sectors, the NZ Compare Awards are back for the 6th year and in response to consumer demand, we have introduced MOBILE Awards for the first time.
As the boundaries between the utility industries continue to blur the organisers have responded to growing demand to increase the categories and industries celebrated by the NZ Compare Awards and will now recognise excellence and achievement within New Zealand’s BROADBAND, ENERGY and MOBILE sectors for the first time.
Award categories are consumer driven and informed by the 300,000 Kiwis who use NZ Compare websites each month. Winning carries real gravitas with the Kiwi consumer and the awards represent an opportunity to be confident in the talent and vision your company has worked so hard towards. This significant event will recognise the companies that provide New Zealanders with the very best products and services across these essential industries.
The NZ Compare Awards are supported by a wide range of companies including Movinghub, Vector Metering, Chorus, realestate.co.nz and Neighbourly. The prestigious awards will recognise the companies that provide New Zealanders with the very best products and services in their industries. With a range of different categories including best home and mobile provider, best customer support, fastest service, best rural provider and best broadband innovation.
Winning an NZ Compare Award depends on a combination of criteria. These include consumer surveys and reviews on the NZ Compare websites and decisions from our expert judging panel.
"Judged by an independent panel of New Zealand experts and presented at our gala awards event, the NZ Compare Awards provide a unique stage on which we recognize and reward the achievements of the New Zealand utility sectors." said Gavin Male, CEO of NZ Compare.
So what do you think? Give a shout out to your favourite utility provider here - not just for doing their job... we want to hear about those that go above and beyond! Who should be a winner?
We are doing a fundraiser for Cancer Daffodil Day and we are looking for daffodils to put around the hall. If you have any daffodils you would be happy to donate please let me know. We can pick up between Orewa and Te Kauwhata. My contact number is 021 582 560

A new pest control operation will begin in the Hunua Ranges, targetting 21,500 hectares of land.
The aerial operation will begin with a drop of non-toxic bait, to get the pests interested, followed by a drop of baits containing 1080.
Auckland Council's Environmental Services General Manager Rachel Kelleher said the ranges are home to many of New Zealand's threatened species and their focus is on protecting them.
"Many are vulnerable to introduced pests and diseases. However, through this collaborative work, significant gains and successes have been seen in the ranges over the last seven years, with many of our threatened species beginning to bounce back particularly our native kōkako".
The bait is poisonous to dogs, so they should be supervised at all times while in the ranges.

Guide to Volunteering
Organizations recognise that older people bring a wealth of skills and expertise to volunteering. By passing on your skills and learning you can make a difference to people’s lives. Volunteering is also a good way to make new friends and improve general levels of health and fitness.
Become a coach or mentor
Older people's skills and experiences are highly valued in communities. You can put your work experience to good use by becoming a mentor or coach. In return you can develop your own interpersonal skills and remain active and involved in your community.
