Tawa Lions Saturday Market

Communications from Tawa Lions Club

This coming Saturday 12 May the Tawa Lions Market at Outlet City will be open from 9am to 2pm, featuring our regular Fruit and Vegetable vendor along with our own stall with eggs and honey. Saturday's weather forecast is looking good so we expect a good turnout of other stalls plus our Lions used book stall will be out for your perusal.

This week we have Honey and egg news.

For many years now we have sold standard and (lately) barn eggs - but unfortunately, this cannot continue. Egg producers are moving to free-range only, so barn egg prices are increasing to a level where they priced around the same as free-range. We will therefore not be restocking barn eggs. This week we have remaining stock at current prices. A reminder that at our market a dozen is 12 (not 10) eggs, and a tray is 30 eggs (not 20).

Last week we introduced Waireka Rewarewa honey in 500g jars - with free tasting. This will be available again this week. We have Helen's honey - creamed Meadow, Bush and Manuka/Bush along with Liquid Meadow.

Tawa Lions gratefully acknowledges the support of Outlet City in providing the venue for our Market.

Poll: 🤖 What skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.

We want to know: As the world evolves, what skills do you think give a CV the ultimate edge in a robot-filled workplace?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
