I hope you are all well following lockdown and the Covid-19 Crisis affecting many of us in our homes and work situations?
Please do let me or any of our SRA Committee know if you have any particular concerns during this difficult year.
SRA July Newsletter:
Please find enclosed our 28th Issue, SRA newsletter for July 2020 - which has been delivered by at least 10 local residents. Please let me know if you haven't received your newsletter or feel like you should have received one already?
Many Thanks to our regular & casual volunteers who always help to deliver them & make our SRA Newsletter easier and more fun to have delivered to approx 2600 local letterboxes and businesses.
Thanks to the Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board and CCC staff who have consistently printed and folded 26 of our issues and Krystal Henderson (c/- Ray White Barrington) who has kindly printed in colour & folded 2 of our 28 issues. Post Covid-19 lockdown - our SRA Newsletter has been even more important to help connect some of our vulnerable residents who may be without social media options. Our newsletters appear to be very well received by so many residents & business owners - it is one of the most important useful ways we can communicate with all our community.
This month's newsletter focuses on post lockdown and hopefully may be useful for some vulnerable residents who were living by themselves throughout this difficult year.
SRA Meetings:
Our remaining meetings for 2020 (in the Somerfield Community Centre backroom at 7.30pm) are:
Monday 27th July
" 14th September (AGM)- Guest Speaker to be confirmed
" 9th November
We welcome anyone to join us at any meetings!
Please keep an eye on your neighbours and let me /our SRA Committee know if there are any concerns which could be addressed by our team?
Warm regards Julie Tobbell.
SRA Chairperson.

The Sunday Star-Times wants to hear from children about how they've been impacted by Covid-19 and lockdown. Perhaps they've learned more about hand washing and germs, or maybe they want to talk about having mum or dad home more often, or learning from home. Kids can write a sentence or two to be included in print by emailing kelly.dennett@stuff.co.nz, by Friday, July 10, at 5pm. Their first names and ages may be used in print. Parents, if you're happy for your children to be photographed please let us know.

We have a single mattress that we were going to take to the dump, it belonged to our children, now grown up. It has a stain (vomit) which we couldn't quite remove despite our best efforts, on one side only, but otherwise it's in perfectly good nick. (no sagging, rips etc)

If seems a pity to dump it, but it's just taking up space. If anyone could use it , please text 027 7212309 to arrange collection (Westmorland area).
