THANK YOU to the entire NEIGHBOURLY team!!!
As we wrap up for the holidays, and on behalf of everyone on this platform, I want to take a moment to thank you'll for your continued support throughout the year. It’s been really nice to have the opportunity to read such wonderful messages, so many interesting articles posted by like-minded members of the community, both near and afar and attend so many community activities and events across the year.
Yes, 2023 hasn't been without it's challenges. We’ve faced some tough financial times with rising costs and a growing population, so are very grateful for the many opportunities you provided by way of competitions and worthy prizes. Thank you again for taking the time to send us your input, when required, and it was invaluable to us.
2024 will certainly bring new and familiar challenges, but in the meantime, we wish each one of you and your whānau a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. STAY BLESSED.

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.

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!
