Wellington North Community Patrol
Our purpose is to empower communities to prevent crime and create safer environments through the utilisation of trained and equipped volunteer patrols. In the November storms last year, we were on the road checking slips, directing traffic and clearing debris. The patrol needs funds to maintain its patrol vehicle - including ongoing petrol costs. Patrol members are also required to wear high-viz vests and currently we do not have sufficient on hand to allocate to each of our patrollers. VOTE NOW!
Surrogate Grandparents NZ
I have started up a non profit organisation called Surrogate Grandparents NZ who's aim is to unite families who may not have their own Grandparents close by, or are no longer alive with "Surrogate" Grandparents. It will provide support for families with young children as well as being companionship for the older generation who may be lonely and away from their own families. VOTE NOW!

North Shore Initial Response Trust
Every week we voluntarily train to prepare for disasters when emergency services require additional support in searches for missing people, sandbagging to protect properties from flooding, and helping limit damage to people and properties following events such as tornadoes, storms and tsunamis. As a group of volunteers, we are not paid for any of this activity. Since the equipment is exposed to extreme weather events and difficult environments, it regularly needs to be replaced. There is some vital equipment we are in need of in order to be able to continue our dedicating our time to helping keep people safe. VOTE NOW!
Riverton Community Garden Project
Our goal is to create a self-funding, sustainable food producing garden that can eventually start to give back to those most in need within our community, such as struggling families, and the elderly. We rely on various age groups to look after the garden, including the Riverton Primary School, Aparima College (local high school) and Riverton Childcare and other local volunteers. We are seeking funding to establish infrastructure to support the garden for many years to come. VOTE NOW!

Aucklanders have used 419 million litres of water in the past 24 hours, exceeding the daily target, and the situation remains fragile.
We need all Aucklanders to save at least 20 litres of water per day...

It's a chance to hear what Rotary has to offer in the Pohutukawa Coast. Here's why you should be involved:
- Make a difference, raise funds for those in need, locally and globally
- You can achieve so much more working in a team rather than as an individual
- Make personal lifelong friendships across the community
- Develop your own talents, take ownership and gain experience running projects and performing roles
- Membership of an organisation such as Rotary commands respect, ensuring sure your Rotary voice is heard
We would love to see you there!
Regards
Alex Garden

Seddon Community and Neighbourhood Support Group
Seddon is our small rural township located to the south of Blenheim on SH1. Rocked and devastated (again) by the quakes in November 2016. With the loss of access to Christchurch via the Main North Line, and SH 1, we are at the “end of the line”. Every one of our self employed residents has taken a huge hit, many of whom can no longer support themselves especially with the removal of all emergency funding as of the 14th February. we are hoping to be able to provide to the whole community, access to essential first aid kits at reasonable and affordable costs to all the residents. It is for this initiative we are seeking some funding in order to subsidise these kits. VOTE NOW!!

Watercare is urging Aucklanders to reduce their water use by 20 litres per day until the end of March because this week’s storm has restricted the treatment capacity of the city’s largest water treatment plant. Water quality has not been compromised.

How much water is 20 litres?
Twenty litres will fill two buckets with water.
How can I save water easily?
1. Cut your shower time by two minutes: Approximate saving = 16 litres
2. Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth. Approximate saving = 4 litres
3. Don’t use your toilet to flush rubbish. Approximate saving = 7 litres
4. Only run your dishwasher when it’s full.
5. Only run your washing machine when it’s full.
Around half of Auckland’s water is sourced from four water storage dams in the Hunua Ranges. This water is treated at Ardmore Water Treatment Plant. Currently, the Ardmore plant is treating 50 per cent less water than normal because the flow entering the plant from the dams contains a lot of silt due to slips and erosion in the catchment, giving it a muddy appearance and making it more challenging to treat.
