"I was suspicious of the establishment at the time. You need to understand, I had grown up a welfare-dependent "half-caste" (I hate that term) boy living with his mother, escaping from a life of alcohol, crime and a level of violence that I would not tolerate for my daughters. An under-achiever, I was expelled from two secondary schools. I feel I had a reason to be angry at "the system".
"Then I became a father. It changed my life. I needed to be a responsible adult caring for a son, then a daughter – eventually seven children. We were young parents and wanted to do only the best for these precious beings.
"I read the pamphlet. It described "studies" in the Netherlands into communities that didn't look like mine, but I took little persuasion. I stated our second child, our little daughter Te Miringa, would not be immunised.
"At the time my wife Tracy was working as a nurse at the local medical centre and immunising children daily. Yet this was my protest against the establishment that I so mistrusted.
"Fifteen months later, we had a scare. Te Miringa became unwell with high fever and a body rash and the doctors were concerned as there was a measles outbreak locally. And I realised the information from the Netherlands did not reflect my reality.
"We got Te Miringa immunised."

Do you have a loved one's special occasion coming up? Instead of buying a mass-produced, expensive card, pop into the SPCA shop on Chadwick Road and buy a one-of-a-kind, handmade card for just $4.
If you can't see what you need, let me know as I do commissions on request.
Good morning Neighbours, if you have family or friends looking to move into our fabulous area then be sure to tell them to check out 175 Cheyne Road. This lovely Jennian home is definitely NOT to be overlooked.

I work with kids with behavioural issues around our local schools. As a reward for doing the right thing we are looking at setting up a fishing programme with these kids (this is an area of interest for many of our kids).
We are looking for someone (hopefully with a boat) that might be interested in taking kids fishing on Friday afternoons. The kids will be accompanied one-to-one by adults and some funding may be available to help with costs.
If you are interested please contact me by email 88.matt@gmail.com or by sending me a message through neighbourly.
Many thanks,
Matt

Last year we raised $6400.00 which has been put towards the upgrade of our kitchen and children’s bathroom. As the Ministry of Education no longer fund any upgrading of buildings in Kindergartens, we still need to raise more money to reach our goal! We will also be applying for community grants to help us out.
Is your business interested in sponsoring a table this year?
A donation of $150 gets a quiz table named after your business and you will receive the following advertising/benefits:
Signage in the form of an A4 logo on your sponsored table.
Your advertising material i.e. business cards on all of the other quiz tables.
A power point presentation with your business details on the night.
Advertising in our monthly Kindergarten newsletter for a full year.
Advertising in an exclusive quiz night newsletter.
An advert on our Welcome Bay Kindergarten Whanau Face Book page.
All table sponsorship or prizes donated are tax deductible as the Kindergarten is a not-for-profit organization.
In addition, if you would like, you can get a team of 8 people together and come along to have some fun on the night! Tickets are $20 per person which includes a light supper.
We are also seeking prize donations to include in our auctions or given away as prizes during the night.
Items could include tickets, gift certificates or merchandise.
We appreciate that businesses are often asked for sponsorship and that it is not possible to support every worthy cause, but any support you can offer us would be very gratefully accepted.
If you would like to sponsor a table, buy tickets or donate a prize, please contact wbkindycommittee@gmail.com.
(we have already pre sold 87 tickets!!!)
