Rotary Annual Charity Book Fair - Northcote College
Wow it was all happening today at Northcote College with the unloading of over 700 cartons of donated books through the great efforts of the East Coast Bays Rugby Club. Thanks Guys!
This week members of Rotary Kaipatiki, with the help from other volunteers, including Rotarians from other Clubs, will be setting up the books for our sale starting next Friday 29 September, at 11.00am, and running through to Sunday until 3.00 pm. Note that there will be a $10 entry fee into the hall, for the first hour on Friday only, and free entry after that. There is no fee for the entry to the budget and children's sections in the class rooms.
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!

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
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.
