So we're reaching out to our lovely community to see if anyone is keen to help us out 2 or 3 Friday mornings a month. You'd need to be wonderfully patient.. we are Age Concern after all.. be able to drive a manual Ford Transit van, pass a police check and have a great sense of humour.
The hours are pretty cool too, from around 9am to 12pm at the very latest. And if you were keen on helping out driving for some of our outings, then that's a bonus.

If you'd like to have a chat about this, either send a message via Neighbourly or email me on info@ageconcernhb.org.nz or call Carol on 8776488.

Huge thanks to Coleen Davey and Linda Walsh who organised today's 26th Annual Memorial Service for New Zealand Murder Victims.

Today's Ceremony was held at Albert Square, Hastings.

It was sobering to listen to the Roll Of Honour read allowed, to hear the names, ages and years that people had died at the hand of another person. To see the photos of children who never grew up to see their future and not live out the hopes and dreams of what could have been, was heartbreaking.

It was my privilege and honour to help lead today's service and to meet the family members who came to give tribute and honour their person. However, when I looked in their eyes and greeted them with a handshake, I felt sadness and grief. To hear an older man talk of his son who was killed when he was 50 years old and to realise that as parents our babies are always our babies no matter how old they are and to have someone take a child away is beyond all understanding. To watch a grown woman cry because her father was killed 20 years ago - she looks so young, how old could she have been?

When I grew up in Napier in the '70s and '80s, I remember what happened to our community as we grieved the loss of those who were slain as victims of kidnapping and homicide.
Later in the early '90s, I lived in Dunedin, and again, I recall my friends who were taken at the hand of another person.

I cannot begin to imagine how life has been for the survivors of homicide victims, but without a doubt, I can say "I am so very sorry, and my deepest love is with surviving family and friends."

Thanks for listening, Neighbours and Friends. Also, thanks to Mayor Sandra Hazelhurst for attending today and joining with others in their open speeches of unity. Coleen Davey and Linda Walsh and Linda's mum Joanne are wonderful volunteers to organise the event for today and bring us together. Thank you.

Internet outages

Kim from Karamu - Waipatu

Is anyone else having problems with their internet ?
We are on copper connection ADSL
We can go days without a problem with very good speeds. Then randomly we get constant disconnections throughout a day or two. Phoned Spark and just get the usual response that it must be a problem at our end.

But today I was talking to someone who has the exact same problem.

I have tried different modems connected to different jack outlets and have the same problem.

It is definitely an issue outside of our property.
