Weather has been great and daylight saving is fast approaching, 29th September at 2am.

Enjoy the weather everybody and look forward to the extra daylight hours.
Stay safe.

As a volunteer, you will have the opportunity to work alongside a former refugee family as they begin their new life in Dunedin. You can be involved in setting up their home before they arrive, helping them enrol with schools and doctors, showing them public transport, and many other things that we may take for granted as locals.
We provide comprehensive training and a tailored support network to ensure our volunteers are well prepared to provide support to newly arrived families. We still have some spaces available on our next training programme which starts Friday 20 Sept at 5.30pm.
For more information or to apply for this programme, please contact Belinda Le Lievre, NZ Red Cross, Dunedin Service Centre on 03 477 1527, or via the Red Cross website: www.redcross.org.nz...

Don Alexander, 84, lost his ring while packing up crates of donated lemons and grapefruit destined for the elderly in Dunedin.
Four crates sent to Dunedin were stored at Timeless Floor and Bathroom owner and Rotary member Barry Johnston's yard.
Three days later something caught Johnston's eye while he was walking on the gravel driveway outside.
The treasured item was sent back to its owner, who couldn't believe his luck.
