National Volunteer Week
Hey Neighbours,
It's National Volunteer Week from June 17 to June 23, so we're taking the chance to celebrate some of Franklin's awesome volunteers.
Who are some volunteers you know that you think deserve more recognition?
What are some great organisations you think could use more volunteers?
Maybe you're a volunteer yourself - let us know why you chose to become a volunteer, and why you enjoy being it in the comments.
Also, check out one of Franklin's lifesavers who has been volunteering with the Waiuku St John Ambulance service for four years.
Please put NFP if you don't want your comment to be printed.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
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?

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
