Hi Everyone,
My grandson, Jordie (11), as part of a school project at Hampden Street School, has committed to raising enough money to install an Automated Electronic Defibrillator (AED) at Tahunaui Beach in time for Summer.
He decided on this after doing some research and realising that there wasn't adequate coverage for the tens of thousands of visitors the Beach has over Summer. This initiative will inevitably save lives.
Here is Jordie's Givealittle page:

givealittle.co.nz...

This is a 6 month project and he's in it for the long haul. Every little donation helps so if you can manage a fiver that's awesome. If you can manage more then that's a massive help.

If you need to know anything more then just hit the link above and watch Jordie's video. I hope you'll be inspired as much as I was.

So much written about Lake Rotoiti and so very little written about Lake Rotoroa. We would like to change this.
If you could please get in touch with me. Thank you.
We would like to get in touch with any of the families who are decendants of the settlers of this area. We know some of their names. We know some of the stories but we want to know ALOT more. We know about the history and are proud of the families who survived and tried so hard to make a go of it. We want to celebrate them.

The Poole Family. The Bagust family. The Willetts family. The Gibson Family. The Booth family. The Fittus family.
The old diggers from the area.....Rudy Lublow, Peter Johansen, and so many others.
We want to preserve the history and the stories and talk to people who have them to tell.
Please get in touch....we are hoping in January 2019 to hold a gathering of interested people to gather with our extended family and CELEBRATE our love for this place.

It was made from a pair of jeans from an op shop. "All of my gardening clothes come from op shops," she says. "Large men's shirts make good cover-ups to keep sun and insects off my arms. For the apron, start with a smaller size than you would wear so it doesn't wrap around too far. Check that it has a lot of pockets." So tell us if you've got similarly fashionable, exclusive-for-the-garden glad rags, and if yes, why not post a photo in the Reply space too!
