YOUR VOICE
Age Concern Wellington is running a segment in our fortnightly newsletter, called YOUR VOICE. We would love to hear from seniors in our communities.
Please share a few lines about your hobbies, a recipe, a pattern, a story, artwork, a poem... We'd like to read about anything that you think other readers would enjoy! You may even get published in our newsletter.
Every two months, we will draw a winner. The winning entry will take home a $50 Countdown voucher, generously donated by the team at Countdown.
Please email your entries to:

By submitting an entry, you grant permission to Age Concern Wellington to publish your entry in their newsletters and on their website. Only winning entries will receive a prize. All entries remain the property of the entrant. Prizes cannot be exchanged for cash. Prizes will be mailed to the winners.
We look forward to hearing from you all!
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.
Art and Craft Market at Kai Tahi - 10 till 3 EVERY SUNDAY!
Hi neighbours
The new Porirua Community Art and Craft market at Kai Tahi in Porirua is now running EVERY Sunday. It's all indoors, and there's over 30 stalls each week.
Opens at 10am and closes 3pm, so you can also grab lunch at the many international food court options. Bring the kids, and your dog on a lead is welcome too!
Parking at the back (on harbour edge) is free - just stay clear of the Staff Only parks.
