Hi all!

Hope this isn't against the rules but I'm looking for your help!

This Friday we are hosting a great Shave for a Cure Twilight Gala at Phillipstown Hub, 39 Nursery Rd. You can learn more here: www.neighbourly.co.nz... but rest assured there will be great food (sausages, woodfired pizza and a huge bake sale with GF options available) and lots of fun with all proceeds benefitting Leukemia and Blood Cancer NZ.

We are looking for last-minute donations for our raffle from local businesses or craftspeople. We've already had great support from FORGE fashion, Slick Burgers, Vivace Espresso and other amazingly generous people and businesses.

We're also looking for anyone who might like to help in the entertainment on Friday. Between 3 and 7 we'd love to show people an excellent time and if you or your group have a special talent (family-friendly!) to share for part of that time, we'd love to hear from you :)

Lastly, you can support our fundraiser online! My fundraising page is here: bit.ly... Every little bit helps!

Thanks for reading <3

Hi Christchurch,

What did you think of your city's Botanic D'Lights festival? About 136,000 people visited the event over five nights last week. And now your city's gardens are set to be lit up all year round, thanks to a new light installation. However some ratepayers have questioned the $900,000 cost to keep the Armstrong Lawn area adjacent to Rolleston Ave, lit.

So let's hear your thoughts. Are you happy for your rates to go towards the lighting display? Or do you think the money should be best spent elsewhere? Let us know in the replies!
