You can nominate a champion in your neighbourhood by emailing kiaora@neighboursday.org.nz with the story, a picture if you have one, and your neighbourhood champion's contact number or address if you have it so we can get in touch with the if they win. We will post the story and the picture on our facebook page. The story that gets the most likes that month wins the gift of thanks. Our first gift is this beautiful Pohutukawa Pendant from Paul Harris Art and Design .... perfect summer gift, and a perfect gift of thanks.

Knowing the right immediate action to take can save lives and prevent injury. If you are near the coast and feel a strong earthquake that makes it hard to stand up, or a rolling earthquake that lasts longer than a minute, move immediately to high ground, or as far inland as possible.
The earthquake is your first warning, tsunami waves can arrive within minutes. Do not wait for official advice or warning systems.
Contact your local civil defence group for tsunami zone maps and plan your route today. www.civildefence.govt.nz...

Please place only NEW gifts under the trees. We only hand out new toys to the children.
If you do have secondhand children's toys you wish to donate to charity please take them to the local op shops.
It takes a lot of time for our volunteers to sort through all the packages we receive and it's sad when we have to
dispose of these toys from you.
Don't forget the older kids. We get so many gifts for the little ones and they often have older brothers and sisters. So help us provide for them all. Thank you.
Merry Christmas x
