Sending Love - Christmas cards for those who are alone at Christmas
Sending Love (see their website and Facebook page) is again coordinating the collecting, messaging and delivery of Christmas cards to residents of rest homes. Grey Power Rotorua is hosting one of their dropboxes, at our office, which collects donations of cards - both commercial and home made - for this initiative, to be delivered in Rotorua.
We can accept donations of cards until December 8th, AND are hosting 2 sessions for writing personal messages into the cards donated:
Thursday 6th December 10am to 2pm at the Age Concern rooms at 1333 Eruera St (behind Spotlight at the lower end of Eruera St towards Kmart), and
Friday 7th December 10am - 2pm at our own building, right behind Age Concern, also 1333 Eruera St.
We have cards and pens, and 60 suggested greetings in case you are a bit stumped ... come along and help send the love !!
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.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
