Something I have done for the postie and my rubbish collection drivers for Easter, is saying thank you for the job they do for all of us.
For the postie I put an Easter egg in the letter box for her, this morning I gave the rubbish truck driver one as well.

For the postie I put an Easter egg in the letter box for her, this morning I gave the rubbish truck driver one as well.
It’s just a small thing to say thank you which we don’t do enough these days.
They both were more than surprised to get an egg!

Lions New Zealand identified a need for spectacles to aid people in the Pacific Islands.
As a result The Lions Club of Kapiti has a spectacle recycling project and they are continually looking for used glasses that can be used in this project.
Do you have any old glasses that you wish to pass on?
Useful items are passed on to Volunteer Ophthalmologist Services Overseas (VOSO) for distribution to those with poor eyesight in the Pacific Islands.
They are then sorted, checked for cracks and scratches before being washed in an ultrasonic washer and dried. They then have their prescription recorded and are packed for delivery.
VOSO consists of teams of eye surgeons, optometrists and eye care workers who visit the isolated communities and bring enhancement to the lives of hundreds of people annually.
If you have any old glasses that you would like to donate to this cause please contact andthel@outlook.com
