Can you lend a couple of hours? Volunteers we need you!
The buckets are clean, the vests are unfolded and our venues are booked for the 2019 Dementia Waikato Annual Appeal and we would love it if you could lend us a couple of volunteer hours to fundraise! We would also love it if you shared our message with your communities and helped us spread the word.
Donations received are used in the Waikato and help us remain the only charitable organisation in the region to provide free education, advice and support to people living with dementia. Our mission is to help people live as well as possible, whatever their symptoms are. Our vision is living well with dementia.
To volunteer, email our super crew at volunteers@dementiawaikato.org.nz or call 282 1373.

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!
Poll: Do you use the district nursing service?
The health system has been accused of breaking the law amid sky-rocketing demand for community-based nurses in Waikato.
This comes as the supply of district nurses lags behind referral increases of more than 100%, leading to staff burn out and an “unprecedented” service failure.
Do you use the district nursing service? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
