We will be hosting an interest meeting on Tuesday 21st March, 6.30pm at Pepperjacks in Pine Harbour.

It's a chance to hear what Rotary has to offer in the Pohutukawa Coast. Here's why you should be involved:

- Make a difference, raise funds for those in need, locally and globally
- You can achieve so much more working in a team rather than as an individual
- Make personal lifelong friendships across the community
- Develop your own talents, take ownership and gain experience running projects and performing roles
- Membership of an organisation such as Rotary commands respect, ensuring sure your Rotary voice is heard

We would love to see you there!

Regards

Seddon Community and Neighbourhood Support Group
Seddon is our small rural township located to the south of Blenheim on SH1. Rocked and devastated (again) by the quakes in November 2016. With the loss of access to Christchurch via the Main North Line, and SH 1, we are at the “end of the line”. Every one of our self employed residents has taken a huge hit, many of whom can no longer support themselves especially with the removal of all emergency funding as of the 14th February. we are hoping to be able to provide to the whole community, access to essential first aid kits at reasonable and affordable costs to all the residents. It is for this initiative we are seeking some funding in order to subsidise these kits. VOTE NOW!!

IMPORTANT information for Aucklanders - please reduce your water use

Janie Smith from Watercare

Watercare is urging Aucklanders to reduce their water use by 20 litres per day until the end of March because this week’s storm has restricted the treatment capacity of the city’s largest water treatment plant. Water quality has not been compromised.

Watercare is urging Aucklanders to reduce their water use by 20 litres per day until the end of March because this week’s storm has restricted the treatment capacity of the city’s largest water treatment plant. Water quality has not been compromised.

How much water is 20 litres?
Twenty litres will fill two buckets with water.

How can I save water easily?
1. Cut your shower time by two minutes: Approximate saving = 16 litres
2. Turn off the tap when brushing your teeth. Approximate saving = 4 litres
3. Don’t use your toilet to flush rubbish. Approximate saving = 7 litres
4. Only run your dishwasher when it’s full.
5. Only run your washing machine when it’s full.

Around half of Auckland’s water is sourced from four water storage dams in the Hunua Ranges. This water is treated at Ardmore Water Treatment Plant. Currently, the Ardmore plant is treating 50 per cent less water than normal because the flow entering the plant from the dams contains a lot of silt due to slips and erosion in the catchment, giving it a muddy appearance and making it more challenging to treat.
