CAB Pakuranga celebrates its volunteers!
π We finally caught up with the last of our volunteers who missed our special Volunteer Week presentation a few weeks ago.
Brenda - second from left - is seen here smiling happily holding her very special recognition certificate. Brendaβs certificate reads βFor outstanding support of our Social Team, coordinating and managing Volunteer Social Events and CAB meetings.β
Brenda is flanked by (left) Louise (Pakuranga Manager), (right) Tricia (Admin) and Cat (Life Member)
Each year we present a few certificates to recognise volunteers who have made an outstanding contribution. These get spread around the volunteers from year to year. All of our volunteers are absolute stars! β
Congratulations again to all of our fantastic volunteers! π π π

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if itβs approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

A riddle to start the festive season π²ππ
I'm a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I'm a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I'm an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I'm a form of music. What am I?

Auckland, why are we so excited about a new store? ππ
I think weβve all seen the traffic notices and headlines about the new IKEA by now!
So hereβs the question: why do we get so excited when a new store opens? Convenience? Curiosity? A reason for a weekend outing? Weβd love to hear your thoughts!
