Please meet Alyce Read of Nelson, who uses her houseplant collection to connect with others and help them overcome mental health challenges. "You wouldn’t take a plant and put it in a dark corner and fail to water it and expect it to thrive. So we should look at ourselves that way," she says. "If we are not thriving in the way that we would wish, it might not be any fault of ours, it might be the conditions that we are under."
All it takes is a kind gesture to change someone’s day. From giving flowers to a neighbour ‘just because’ to paying it forward in line at a cafe - this month we’re encouraging our members and supporters to make New Zealand a better place one random act of kindness at a time.

The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, build a free community library for your street, buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food bank, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.
Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re spreading kindness this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:

You are invited to join us at the Feilding and District Art Society this afternoon to celebrate the opening of this beautiful fluid art (or poured art) exhibition by Rochelle MacBeth.
Rochelle began her creative journey just 3 years ago. She had heard of 'fluid art' or 'pouring art' and decided to try it out. She absolutely loved the process and has been hooked ever since!
Since her first pour she has learnt many techniques and gained a real eye for colour and composition. Of learning new techniques Rochelle say's "There has been a lot of paint wasted along the way - but if you don't make mistakes you don't learn!"
Recently Rochelle has been working on commissions and loves the feeling of pleasure she gets when a client sees their ideas come to life!
Light refreshments will be served and there will be an opportunity to meet Rochelle and discuss her work and what inspires her.
Everyone is welcome - there is no need to book and there is no charge to attend.
Following the Opening Celebration the exhibition will run 2 - 20 August.

So many Ryman residents have passions and pastimes that they continue to thrive at within our villages. Therefore, creating an event like Olympics@RYMAN is a prime example of how we pioneer the way for our residents.
Events include swimming, bowls, cycling, relay walking and Quiznastics. To up the ante, we’ve incorporated technology solutions to enhance events and to enable residents to connect with all 41 Ryman villages, including those across the Tasman, while they compete!

After years of searching for a new recruit for their business, Auckland engineering firm Stainless Machinings turned to Competenz’s free job matching service to find them an ideal candidate.
In the space of a few short months, school leaver Stuart Martin joined the company.
