A massive THANK YOU!
Following up on my last post for Karori Lions, we - and the Karori Food Bank - want to thank everyone who contributed to to the Food Bank collection last Saturday. The results of your generosity can be seen in the accompanying photo of the Food Bank's storage shelves which are now looking pretty healthy!
The Food Bank's services have been in heavy demand in recent months and this demand can now be met with good confidence for the next period.
We will be holding our next major collection in early November, but remember that the Food Bank always welcomes your donations at any time of the year, and they can be left in the labelled bin at the Karori Community Centre.
Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition
The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.
For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.
What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
