Clothes Sale - Saturday 15th August POSTPONED

Sylvia Heywood from Soroptimist International North Shore

NOT KNOWING AT THIS STAGE HOW LONG WE MAY ACTUALLY STAY AT ALERT LEVEL 3 WE HAVE DECIDED TO POSTPONE THE CLOTHES SWAP. Please watch out for the new date.
COVID-19 has had a big negative impact on women re-entering the workforce which now requires extra effort, confidence, career advice, styling and having the right professional work wear, as well as on-going professional networking, leadership skills and retention programmes.
Soroptimists International North Shore have organised a clothes swap to help raise funds to assist women to gain employment and become financially independent. Dress for Success has helped at least 60% of the women they work with succeed in securing employment.
Door entry $5 and dollar donations for clothes swaps. Soroptimists are providing refreshments and will be selling raffle tickets prizes to be drawn on the day.
This is a wonderful opportunity to donate pre-loved clothing and meet new friends, or bring your existing friends and find some wonderful swaps for your wardrobe.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!
