Beginning the “Lunches in Schools” Project
Hi Readers. We will be beginning the “Lunches in Schools” Project in September. We’ll be preparing and delivering free lunches to children in low decile schools who regularly arrive at school without lunch. Funds for these lunches will come from the sale of second-hand adult clothes and shoes from our Charity Shop, opening next Thursday (29th) at 24 John Street – hours 11am-3pm, Mon-Fri.
If any in this group has retail experience and can volunteer 4 hours, one day a week, it would be really great to hear from you.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
