What do you think about the newly announced festival on Motutapu?
Island Time on Motutapu is a festival to be held over the last weekend in February and is set to feature a smorgasbord of food and drink vendors and music artists.
Festival-goers will be treated to a day long festival on either February 27 or 28 on the island. Tickets range from between $65 to $85, with a portion of ticket sales going towards to wildlife conservation.
Billy Brown, the deputy chairman of Ngāi Tai Ki Tamaki, said that it is an excellent opportunity to showcase the culture of the island and for them to educate visitors about volunteer opportunities on Motutapu.
“In the end, we want a calendar of events on the island, covering sports, arts, food – all of it," he said.

With places limited to just 45 children, it is a small and nurturing centre that will fill up fast.
Aukilani Kids is different to most childcare centres because it operates more like a traditional kindergarten, specialising in children over two years old with an educational programme focused on preparing children for school. As well as offering a bilingual Samoan experience the centre also has a faith-based programme.
Private and secure, Aukilani Kids has an outdoor area full of mature trees and equipment aimed to inspire and challenge pre-schoolers. With so many leafy places to explore it feels more like a park than a childcare playground. One of the many highlights of Aukilani Kids is the huge car park which guarantees drop off and pick up is never stressful.
Aukilani Kids is open from 7:30am to 5:30pm. Get in touch and secure your child’s place.
Contact us through, Email: admin@aukilanikids.com or Call us on 09-280 3893.
We are needing workers for straight forward property work, clearing, trimming, weeding.
We also need a tiler and a local retired builder to do some small jobs.
Christi 0275101188.
We’re looking for an organist to play at our small, friendly Anglican church in Titirangi on a monthly basis. An honorarium will be given. Please contact me for more information – either phone or text 021-144-7491, or email sarahjanepenwarden@gmail.com
Hi Neighbours, If mask-wearing is mandatory on all public transport, why are more people not getting pulled up for failing to do so. And does it make sense to allowed masks to drop for a beer, wine or coffee? Read the story below:
Swap a can of food for a FREE Resene testpot!
Bring a can of food into your local Resene owned ColorShop and you can swap it for a Resene testpot (60-80ml).
Resene will then donate all the food brought in to The Salvation Army local foodbanks and other community foodbanks.

Bring a can of food into your local Resene owned ColorShop and you can swap it for a Resene testpot (60-80ml).
Resene will then donate all the food brought in to The Salvation Army local foodbanks and other community foodbanks.
By adding a little more colour to your life you can also help those in need. When you donate a can of food you'll save on your testpot purchase (save up to $5.80 on an 80ml testpot) while also helping provide disadvantaged Kiwis with food parcels when they need them most.
Aucklanders, do you want to help your Museum become even better? Take a few minutes to have your say on our Draft Annual Plan for 2021/2022 and tell us what's important to you.
Submissions close 5pm Mon 8 Feb 2021
Hi,

Thank you all so much for all the amazing furniture donations we received in the last couple of weeks. Unfortunately, we are struggling with moving them around as we have an old lightweight flat trolley that isn’t designed for what we put it through.
Is there anyone out there who has a FURNITURE TROLLEY and would be willing to donate it to the shop that we can Relove?
I’ll add a picture of the kind we dream of and keep my fingers crossed. Just leave a comment below or message us. Many thanks and have a great long weekend!
