Eastsiders - remember back in February 2011 when the people of New Zealand humbled us with their support, kindness and love? Well, now it's time to pay that kindness forward.

TEA/COFFEE/COCOA: anything that will help here including sugar, UHT milk or powder, etc
NAPPIES: Any kind of nappies would be appreciated
SANITARY ITEMS: Ladies, the women up north are going to get a bit desperate, so pads, tampons, and the like will be gratefully appreciated. Also, HAND SANITISER if we can get it...we ALL know how important that stuff is!!!

**BIN INN New Brighton: you can drop off there between 9-5pm today and tomorrow (Tuesday 15th, Wednesday 16th)

Also go to our facebook page and see the call out for participants in our December KITTEN CUDDLES promotion.  Get your business registered (cost of $50) and our volunteers will bring out kitten to your business for cuddles.  What a great way for your boss to distress their staff before xmas,    Search under Cat Rescue Christchurch in facebook and we will pop up.  Make sure you like us as we are also crafting cat related items for sale for Christmas gifts.


What fun are our volunteers having at the moment.


Have a great day folks, and be generous with time, money and of course your smiles.

The following is a request from a neighbourly member. Maybe you can help?

"I have a lady in my neighbourhood who is keen to track down a Helen Matherson (maiden name) who once lived in the Wanaka region.

The lady from my neighbourhood is arranging a reunion of those who worked at the Pompolona Lodge on the Milford Track, in the Fiordland National Park back in the 1980s.

The Pompolona Lodge Staff Reunion is taking place in January 2018 and I believe most people have been located, except this one person - so the search is on for Helen Matherson!"

Thanks.
Terrie - Kensington Lead

Hopefully Helen, a family member or someone who knows the Matherson family may see this and make contact? Contact can be made to a Lead who can then pass it on to Terrie - (Kensington Lead)
