Visit to Rakaia
Join us for an excursion to Rakaia this Friday! On Friday 26th Jan, Selwyn Timebank is going on a trip to Rakaia to meet members from the Mid Canterbury Timebank based in Ashburton.
It will be a great time to meet other timebankers and get to know what another timebank is doing. We'll meet at a cafe and then visit community initiatives with a local expert as our guide.
All welcome, members and non-members! Please RSVP by Wednesday 24th Jan to selwyntimebank@gmail.com
Selwyn Timebank is an initiative of Lincoln Envirotown. If you would like to learn more about Selwyn Timebank go to lincolnenvirotown.org.nz...

Covid update - National figures
Revised from today's earlier post as the figures did not look correct but were.
The picture does look bleak as National cases have skyrocketed from 4778 to 8943. nearly double last week
Canterbury has followed that trend with a rise from 763 to 1250.
I would say if it rises or even continues to stay at this level, this is a serious situation
All the recommendations for vaccination and safeguards should be in place.
Masks for the vulnerable would not go amiss in crowds
Stay aware and safe folks.

Time for a clear-out?
Delve back into that garage or wardrobe! It's time to sell your gently-loved goods at The Neighbourly Winter (online!) Garage Sale
On Saturday 6th July, members will be online checking out the goods on offer so it's a great time to get rid of your winter clutter.
Maybe it's time to realise that you're never going to use that snowboard or ski jacket, and that you really do have one too many heaters. Whatever it is, take a picture and put it on Neighbourly for locals to see.
