Refugee Support Volunteer Training
Here is another opportunity to help out in our community and to become a Refugee Support Volunteer (RSV) with the Red Cross. RSVs are placed in teams to assist newly arrived refugees during their first 3-6 months in Hamilton. The support is very practical: setting up a house, showing the new arrivals around Hamilton, assisting them with doctors, schools, grocery shopping etc... A free training course starts on Tuesday 4th July (with morning OR evening sessions). Contact: Shally Arora; phone: 07 960 7285 email: shally.arora@redcross.org.nz;

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
Walking path & not one facility I could find to give a dog a drink of water.
Council. I would like to suggest that a dog drinking post or two be erected, with a metal bowl below and a self stopping tap to top it up, to give fresh water to thirsty dogs who accompany their owners on this pathway. Perhaps a water fountain at the top for the owner as well. Thank you.
