Spirited Conversations
REMINDER! Don't miss - Wednesday 25 October
STEVEN GRAY
"DEMOCRACY IN TROUBLE?
Insights from a Democracy promoter"
After the fall of the Iron Curtain, it appeared that democracy was in ascendancy. From 1995 to 2017 foreign aid specialist Steven Gray worked in 14 different countries on democracy promotion projects. With our own elections front of mind, he will lead the discussion about how New Zealand compares to lower-income countries trying to transition to democratically elected governments.

Bed
Does anyone have a double bed they're needing to get rid of? My brother is living with me now on a couch! Needing to get him a proper bed asap 😅

Time for a clear-out?
Delve back into that garage or wardrobe! It's time to sell your gently-loved goods at The Neighbourly Winter (online!) Garage Sale
On Saturday 6th July, members will be online checking out the goods on offer so it's a great time to get rid of your winter clutter.
Maybe it's time to realise that you're never going to use that snowboard or ski jacket, and that you really do have one too many heaters. Whatever it is, take a picture and put it on Neighbourly for locals to see.
