Weekly Grey Lynn Repair Café, on this Saturday 11-2

Amanda from Grey Lynn

Hi from Repair & Share and the Auckland Library of Tools!
www.aucklandlibraryoftools.com...

This week we welcome the incredibly talented artist Jan Alldritt-Miller to the team! She is with us this Saturday August 24th, offering paint touch-ups on your old watercolor, acrylic or oil paintings. She's eager to see what you've got, so bring in granny's old painting for a little refresh!
(No repairs of frames, canvas, or damaged paper. No removals of mould or watermarks, though if minor she can disguise them with paint!)
Please bring your paintings in before 1:00 for a chance at a touch-up.

EDIT: We previously announced electrical appliance repairs, however our electrician will not be with us this Saturday due to illness. We still offer repairs in sewing, wood, general, and small electronics. Stay tuned for our next electrician announcement!

I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

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!
