Dance Yourself Happy
Dance Yourself Happy, put on another awesome session for our Manukau East community last night. For those who haven’t been along to our NO CHARGE dance-to-get-fit sessions, Dance Yourself Happy, is free-form. There are no instructors, no planned steps or moves, no choreography, no memorisation required, no goals, no expected form or sequence. Our Dance Yourself Happy founder Mari Pettersson, pre-records a playlist of eclectic songs and music from a wide range of genres and different eras. You can be assured she chooses music that's very danceable, and lots of fun!

💡 A Little Brain Buzz for You⚡
I have two faces, but show you only one.
I once had guests, but now have none.
I’m rarely bloody and seldom blue.
I’m often promised and sometimes new

Pick 'N' Mix Textiles for Adults & Teens
Pick 'N' Mix is at Highland Park Library this Sunday (22nd March) 12.30pm - 3.30pm
Support sustainability and get creative with the Thread Exchange!
This hands‑on programme encourages the re‑use of fabric and showcases how fun and accessible sewing can be. Using a specialised cutting machine, you’ll select and cut out a pre‑designed sewing project—anything from small accessories to simple craft items.
Once your pieces are ready, you can stay and assemble your project in the library, enjoying a relaxed, social crafting environment, or take the pieces home to complete them yourself or for someone else. It’s a great way to try a new skill, share resources, and keep perfectly good fabric from being wasted.
This session is open to adults and teens of all sewing levels, from absolute beginners to experienced makers. Friendly assistance is available to help those new to sewing.
All materials are provided—just bring your creativity and enthusiasm!
There will also be some pieces of fabric for sale at bargain prices!
