Remembering the ones you LOVE this Christmas....

Alison Neighbourly Lead from Kamo

🎄 North Have Hospice yearly Memory Trees event takes a new format this year ➡ Due to you know what beginning with 'C' (not 'Christmas') restricting numbers of people in stores, we won’t be able to have our wonderful Memory Trees volunteers with our trees. So, it's D.I.Y ... where you’re welcome to take a heart or star card home, write a name or message in remembrance of someone special, and then hang it on your own Christmas tree.

➡ Donations to support hospice care for local people with a terminal illness can be made via the donation box or 'self-service' eftpos machine by each Memory Tree, which you'll find at the entrances/exits at Mitre 10 MEGA, New World Regent, PAK’nSAVE, and Countdown Tikipunga.

We appreciate the ongoing support of these business for hosting our trees, as well as Ecosse Business Systems for lending us the eftpos machines, and to Morris & Morris Funerals which will donate $1 for every $2 from the public. Thank you! 😊 Ecosse Business Systems Morris and Morris Funerals

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? đŸ„

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
