"maiden name" - Matherson family

Lois Neighbourly Lead from Gisborne District

From Terrie - Kensington
Can any one/ Lead help me?

I have a lady in my neighbourhood who is keen to track down a Helen Matherson (maiden name) who once lived in the Wanaka region.

The lady from my neighbourhood is arranging a reunion of those who worked at the Pompolona Lodge on the Milford Track, in the Fiordland National Park back in the 1980s.

The Pompolona Lodge Staff Reunion is taking place in January 2018 and I believe most people have been located, except this one person - so the search is on for Helen Matherson!

Would Leads consider posting up a message on their noticeboards in the hope that Helen, a family member or someone who knows the Matherson family may see it and make contact?

Thanks.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.

When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
