Karori Community Book Fair Coming Up Soon
Karori Rotary and Karori Lions have combined again to run our local Community Book Fair, to be held at the Karori Baptist Church on Friday 14 July ( public holiday for Matariki) from noon to 8pm and again on Saturday 15 July, from 9am to 4pm.
There are lots of books for the taking. The organisers are keen to get some more children’s books from beginners to 8-9 years. If you can donate children’s books please contact Beth Anders, Karori Lions on 021 264 1481 to arrange pick up.
Business houses in Karori have provided some prizes for purchases of books over $25. Go in the draw for a number of prizes.
For further enquiries and if you can help as a volunteer at the Book Fair please contact David Watt, Karori Rotary, 027 2466 339, or Beth Anders, Karori Lions, 021 264 1481.
Seeking Summer Pocket Money
Are you planning to go away over the holidays?
After doing really well for the last couple of summers and absolutely loving it, our enthusiastic 13-year-old is once again offering her services for pet and plant care over the coming summer.
Over the last few summers, she has managed to earn enough to buy herself a cake mixer, a Fitbit, roller skates, clothes, an assortment of fun items, endless packets of Mentos, and even funded all her spending money for an overseas trip, with enough left over to last her through the year. 😊 While she isn't sure what next year will bring, she is eager to save up a few dollars to make the most of whatever opportunities come her way.
She's keen to take care of small pets and birds, water pot plants and gardens, walk friendly dogs, and more. She is available immediately and throughout the summer until the end of January. Please consider her if you're planning to be away for a few days or a few weeks.
Rates are negotiable, and references are available from happy customers, several of whom have kept her on for weekend work throughout the year.
As always, she will be fully supervised! 😊 Text me at 0226206258 to arrange an introductory visit. 😊
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
