Donations for Upper South Island Floods

Vicki Parker from NZ Gifts of Love and Strength

Remember when everyone has helped us Cantabrians during our darkest days with the quakes, fires, floods, mosque shootings ?

Here is our chance to uplift spirits in the Upper South Islabd without it costing a lot of money.

The ONLY items that are being accepted at all NEW WORLD Supermarkets in Canterbury and other businesses mentioned in the attached media release are:

A bought or handmade card ( do not seal envelope) a nice message inside

A packet of lollies or multi pack or chocolate

A knitted or sewn small heart / worry worm/ hug to fit inside envelope as a forever keepsake

These items will be distributed to the most severely affected families by Lions Host Nelson and Havelock Lions Clubs.

Please support this appeal. The recipients will be receiving these in approximately 3 weeks time as a wee pick me up to let them know that others have not forgotten about them.

If schools etc want to get involved please email us at giftsofloveandstrength@gmail.com

Thank you for your generosity and kindness.

Poll: Would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? 🌿🐦

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Canterbury, you have a hidden treasure right on your doorstep ... though it does come with a 1.5-hour walk up the stunning Rakaia Gorge Walkway.

Along the trail you’ll find The Fantail Shop showcasing small artworks by local artisans. Even better, every purchase supports the Fantail Trust, helping protect and restore biodiversity on the north bank of the gorge.

So we’re curious: would you take a 1.5-hour hike for a shop? (And for local biodiversity, of course 🌿)

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?
