This is day number three of showcasing two of our AMI Community Grant finalists to share a bit more about the great work that they're doing in Kiwi communities. You can help support these organisations by voting for them to win their share of $20,000.

Wellington North Community Patrol
Our purpose is to empower communities to prevent crime and create safer environments through the utilisation of trained and equipped volunteer patrols. In the November storms last year, we were on the road checking slips, directing traffic and clearing debris. The patrol needs funds to maintain its patrol vehicle - including ongoing petrol costs. Patrol members are also required to wear high-viz vests and currently we do not have sufficient on hand to allocate to each of our patrollers. VOTE NOW!

Surrogate Grandparents NZ
I have started up a non profit organisation called Surrogate Grandparents NZ who's aim is to unite families who may not have their own Grandparents close by, or are no longer alive with "Surrogate" Grandparents. It will provide support for families with young children as well as being companionship for the older generation who may be lonely and away from their own families. VOTE NOW!

Following their 2015 sell-out performances of Sleeping Beauty, Moscow Ballet "La Classique" makes a triumphant return to Australasia with Swan Lake - a spellbinding classical romance.

"The greatest success of Russian theatre is undoubtedly classical ballet."

The most splendid ballet of all time is brought to life by Tchaikovsky's masterpiece score. From the moon-lit lake where elegant swans silently glide to the magnificent opulence of the palace ballroom, Odile, the temptress in a cloud of black tulle, provides a ravishing counterpoint to the purity and innocence of Odette, the beautiful swan Queen. A fairy tale story of a tragic romance. The unrivalled skill and pathos of the famous Moscow Ballet "La Classique" is a visual feast.

See their performance in Taupo on Thursday 11th May 2017 at the Great Lake Centre. Click here to book or call (07) 377 1207 or 0800 TICKETEK.

North Shore Initial Response Trust
Every week we voluntarily train to prepare for disasters when emergency services require additional support in searches for missing people, sandbagging to protect properties from flooding, and helping limit damage to people and properties following events such as tornadoes, storms and tsunamis. As a group of volunteers, we are not paid for any of this activity. Since the equipment is exposed to extreme weather events and difficult environments, it regularly needs to be replaced. There is some vital equipment we are in need of in order to be able to continue our dedicating our time to helping keep people safe. VOTE NOW!

Riverton Community Garden Project
Our goal is to create a self-funding, sustainable food producing garden that can eventually start to give back to those most in need within our community, such as struggling families, and the elderly. We rely on various age groups to look after the garden, including the Riverton Primary School, Aparima College (local high school) and Riverton Childcare and other local volunteers. We are seeking funding to establish infrastructure to support the garden for many years to come. VOTE NOW!

Water quality is the end game for five men

Dan Hutchinson Reporter from Taupō Times

Climbing Mt Ruapehu only to follow the water stream back down seems like a crazy idea - but it's one idea a group of men are bringing to reality.
The idea of following the Waikato River from source to sea was the brain child of Trent Hicks.
