Our Shave for a Cure is happening THIS FRIDAY - we'd love your support
Hi all!
Hope this isn't against the rules but I'm looking for your help!
This Friday we are hosting a great Shave for a Cure Twilight Gala at Phillipstown Hub, 39 Nursery Rd. You can learn more here: www.neighbourly.co.nz... but rest assured there will be great food (sausages, woodfired pizza and a huge bake sale with GF options available) and lots of fun with all proceeds benefitting Leukemia and Blood Cancer NZ.
We are looking for last-minute donations for our raffle from local businesses or craftspeople. We've already had great support from FORGE fashion, Slick Burgers, Vivace Espresso and other amazingly generous people and businesses.
We're also looking for anyone who might like to help in the entertainment on Friday. Between 3 and 7 we'd love to show people an excellent time and if you or your group have a special talent (family-friendly!) to share for part of that time, we'd love to hear from you :)
Lastly, you can support our fundraiser online! My fundraising page is here: bit.ly... Every little bit helps!
Thanks for reading <3

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
36.2% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63.8% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
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!

How much does it cost to join AEA?
There are no dues or fees for joining AEA or attending AEA meetings. We are self-supporting through our own voluntary contributions. At some point during each meeting we pass the basket to help cover expenses, such as the cost of rent and literature. Members are not obliged to contribute, but we usually do so to the extent we are able.
