Healthy Wholefood Cooking workshop - plant-based

Kim from Papakura

We are very excited to say that we are back doing 'LIVE' workshops! So, you can join us in two ways - either attend in person at the Church Hall, or we will still Zoom to you!

This month's 'Healthy Wholefood Cooking' workshop is on Tuesday July 7 at 7.00pm; and Dellwyn (an amazing family cook) and Ole (an ex-chef... though, once a chef - always a chef) will be demonstrating some really tasty recipes - we have had a sneak preview; so we know that you will enjoy these too!

Dellwyn will be showing you how to make some tasty 'Lentil Flatbread'... in a few different ways, and Ole is doing a tasty 'Aloo Gobi', some delicious 'Cracking Good Crackers' and a warming 'Tomato Soup with Sweetcorn'.

So, either join us on Tuesday July 7 at 7.00pm at:
• Papakura SDA Church -12 Alpha Street, Papakura
• Or, via Zoom - register with livingwellwithpapakurasda@gmail.com to get the Zoom link and the recipes sent to you prior to the workshop.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.

Remember, banks will:​​
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes​​
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device​​
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.

If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
