Later this month we’ll be celebrating the 30th anniversary of Daffodil Day, the most important day in our fundraising calendar. A day that relies on the support of more than 11,000 volunteers.
Money raised goes towards support services, education and awareness programmes, and to fund vital research into the causes and treatments of all types of cancers.
Our 30th Daffodil Day is on Friday 28th August.
Please support the superhero volunteers in your neighborhood with a donation to the Cancer Society, donate online at daffodilday.org.nz or at your local ANZ branch.

On Tuesday our Kea Tamariki had an excursion to the Community Gardens located in Evans Bay Parade.
At the gardens - we stop at each raised garden and Jo talked about what we can see and the tamariki have LOTS to say as well about what they see, smell.
We spend some time at the Strawberry garden - looking for the flowers and talking about bees, pollination) and how the flowers turn into the fruit.
This created much excitement and it was decided we NEED to have strawberries in our garden too.
Below is a quote from one of our tamariki about our trip to the community garden!
Have a happy and safe weekend Whanau!

Friends of the Turnbull Library
Elizabeth Kay began researching the story of her father, Sir Edward Norman, and 25 Battalion after attending some of the battalion’s final gatherings. Reading Eddie’s war-time letters to her mother, Margaret, Elizabeth recognised a human story that needed to be told.
Does anyone know of any casual choirs happening in the Karori area or somewhere 1 bus journey from Karori? Ideally free and all inclusive, asking for a friend.
Thanks :)

The options for doing so are endless! Being kind doesn’t have to cost a thing, after all a smile is free. For those who want to go the extra mile, here’s some other ideas: Buy extra kai at the grocery store to donate to a food bank, build a free community library for your street, bring treats into work for colleagues, send an encouraging text to someone who needs it, let a car into the traffic ahead of you, take a gift over to new neighbours and introduce yourself, write positive messages in chalk on sidewalks around your neighbourhood, or surprise loved ones with a visit.
This month’s theme also coincides with Random Acts of Kindness Day (New Zealand) which is coming up on September 1st.
Let us know how you’re spreading kindness in your community by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
