Rotary BOOKARAMA
Last weekend, Rotary Club of Bishopdale Burnside held a very successful four day book sale. There was enthusiastic public participation and we estimate 40-50,000 books, DVD and Jigsaws are now being enjoyed by new owners. The success was directly attributable to the generous donations of books by you, the public, during April and the large numbers of people who turned up to Bookarama to buy a book (or many).
THANK YOU everybody for your generous support - this was our 12th Annual Bookarama and we are confident it will be an annual recycling/fundraising event for long into the future - people still love books!
Who would have thought walking could have been so dangerous!
Wow!
In 2022 there were 33 fatal crashes, 245 serious injury crashes, and 590 minor injury crashes where pedestrians were involved.
In these crashes, 34 people walking died, 240 people walking were seriously injured, and 595 people walking suffered minor injuries.
Most injuries occur in the young (5 - 29yrs), then 50+yrs, with the highest number of child pedestrians injured between 2pm and 4pm, followed by 4pm to 6pm and 8am to 10am.
Emergency Cards and Tags, ensure first responders have instant access to crucial medical details if any, and can notify loved ones much faster, providing peace of mind when every minute counts.
Protect someone you love and give yourself peace of mind that should an accident or medical event occur, you can be contacted without delay.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
