Hi there,
We're putting together an article on Kiwis' favourite holiday finds, and would love to hear about any great new places you discovered on your holidays and are happy to share.
It could be a beach you'd never been to before, a walking track you'd never tried, a town that pleasantly surprised you or a particularly good cafe, restaurant or bar. Please feel free to comment here or to message me directly. Please put 'NFP' in your comment or message if you do not want your name or suggestion published.
Thank you very much in advance.

Scanning involves working with a camera system that is fairly easy to understand plus a bit of computer work. Supervision and training would be given - hours are what you can give - and support is available at all times. People here are friendly and happy and we'd love to have you come join us - if scanning isn't your thing we have a lot of other jobs to fill such as transcribing, oral interviews, and evaluation and proof reading. Some can be done from home - but our need for scanners is critical and that has to be done at Knowledge Bank in Omahu Road. Call Linda Bainbridge if you're interested on 06 833 5333 - we'd love to hear from you!

SPCA asking dog owners to vaccinate their pups

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Are you a dog or puppy owner? SPCA are urgently calling on you to vaccinate them against parvovirus.

Are you a dog or puppy owner? SPCA are urgently calling on you to vaccinate them against parvovirus.

SPCA New Zealand say:
We’re seeing more and more cases of the highly contagious and potentially fatal canine parvovirus (parvo) around the country as we face a third outbreak in as many years. Parvo can remain on surfaces for up to a year, so dogs are at constant risk if they’re unvaccinated, or if their vaccinations lapse. Please ensure your dogs are protected against this heartbreaking illness, and book your vaccines and boosters as soon as possible. It could be the difference between life and death.

As residents of William Sanders Village, they frequently clock up 12 kilometres in a day, enjoying the charm of their local neighbourhood. Their favourite routes feature stunning harbour and bay views and regular stops at their much-loved local cafés.

“There are so many beautiful walks nearby, It’s such a convenient area to explore,” says Eric.
