CHEAPEST COFFEE IN UPPER HUTT?
If you're in the vicinity of Upper Hutt this Saturday, 3 April, you might like to try what we think must be the cheapest morning tea anywhere! For $5 you can have a pot of tea or percolated coffee PLUS a slice of home baking or toasted cheese/relish sandwich!! Can that be beaten - we don't think so! We hope to have a Home Baking Table with items for sale, too. You'll find the MONTHLY FUNDRAISER CAFE inside the Community Centre, UHBC, corner Fergusson Drive and Milton Street, Trentham any time between 10am and midday. The talented Glenn Campbell will be singing and playing guitar while you enjoy morning tea.
Out in the car park, you'll find the CAR BOOT SALE to browse and snap up that bargain. To book a site for $10, phone 528-3454. ALL PROCEEDS from the Cafe and Car Boot Sale go to Circuit International's work in Myanmar to improve the lives of poor and disadvantaged people. Check out the website for details of their projects - it's very worthwhile work and was started by a New Zealand couple with big hearts!

What word sums up 2024, neighbours?
If 2020 was the year of lockdowns, banana bread, and WFH (work from home)....
In one word, how would you define 2024?
We're excited to see what you come up with!
⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
