Wool for Ukraine
The Zonta Club of Waimakariri recently met a kiwi managing a Swiss-based organisation in the Ukraine which clears mines and unexploded munitions. He visits family in Canterbury every three months and has just taken back knitted baby blankets our members donated. He lives in merino, so we are appealing for any kind of natural wool, 4 ply and up, so we can knit blankets and garments for him to take back next visit. Drop-off points in Rangiora, Amberley, Belfast, Russley, or whatever suits. Thanks for reading!
Some Choice News!
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!
