Time to Celebrate Neighbours
Takapuna Methodist Church is celebrating 10 years of Neighbours Day by holding two free Neighbourhood Sausage Sizzles from 8:30 till 12:30, Sunday 24th and 31st March. 427 Lake Road, Takapuna.
About Neighbour's Day ( neighboursday.org.nz... ):
Tasked by Lifewise and Takapuna Methodist Church to find new and innovative ways to support local neighbourhoods, Rebecca Harrington – passionate community advocate – came across the following finding: many people today recognise they are isolated from their neighbours, yet are unsure what to do about it. After hearing that planned neighbourhood celebrations were becoming commonplace worldwide, Rebecca sought to establish a similar annual campaign in New Zealand, now celebrated annually as Neighbours Day Aotearoa. Initially launched by Lifewise in Auckland in 2009, Neighbours Day Aotearoa became a nationwide initiative and campaign in 2011.
