Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child
Hello All Neighbourhoods,
Thank you to those that have already picked up shoe boxes, we still have plenty available to fill and we have two more weeks to go. You can collect empty shoe boxes to fill from Bryndwr Baptist Church, cnr of Aorangi and Clyde rd, between the times of 2pm-5pm - Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and on Sunday between 10am-12pm. You can also drop your shoe box gifts here too. Please get them in by Sunday 29th October. I can drop shoe boxes off to anyone that would want one or some lol..... There is a pamphlet guide that comes with a shoebox and there is a $10 donation to add on top of your filled shoe box. Your donation of $10 per shoebox is the only way we can cover the costs of this project, including freight, processing centre rent, staff, training distribution teams, advertising and administration. Please feel free to ask me for more info or you can check it out on their website www.samaritanspurse.org.au............ God Bless and Thank you!

Cats Still Missing - NEW TO AREA - Please keep sharing
Please help us find Sid and Dizzy. Missing since 10th November around Leander Street, Northcote. They snuck away after a stressful move into town, and so will likely be confused and a bit timid.
If found please contact Barbara Johnstone on 027 441 5594
We are particularly worried about Dizzy (black & white) he is older mainly a house cat and is VERY deaf : there were possible sightings of him on Joiners Ln (near Vagues Rd) not long after they went missing, but he's not been spotted since.
Please keep a look out for them. Thanks to everyone for your support.

What's your favourite tomato recipe?
Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already! If you've got a family recipe for tomatoes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine to share with our readers. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
