Hi neighbours!

This issue features your food photos of which there are a few. As well as an interview with the sweet-talking fast-moving Edwina Prendergast. The nearly 92 year old fabulous local who's not afraid of a bit of hard graft. Quite possibly the most incredible person I've ever interviewed.

Graham McBride our local historian has supplied another local history story to continue the 'roads of Te Kowhai' series.

Remember, his stories are all available in his Tales of Te Kowhai book. You can order one direct from Graham by giving him a bell on 07 829 7726.

Te Kowhai Cafe is open for business. They do a mean pie, a fast coffee and a wicked egg and bean bagel stack for breakfast.

Anyway, enough from me.

Te Kowhai News is delivered free to all homes and businesses in RD8. Or check out your digital copy here.

How will you be celebrating National Volunteer Week next month?

National Volunteer Week (17-23 of June 2018)
celebrates the 1.2 million Kiwis who are volunteering their time and skills to our communities every year.

The theme this year is Volunteers, The Heart of our Community – By many, the work will be completed, Mā tini, mā mano, ka rapa te whai.

We think this captures the essence of what volunteering is about. This is a time to acknowledge how volunteering efforts contribute to and enrich all communities within Aotearoa.

Could you move from a 3-bed to a motorhome?

Jo Haywood Reporter from Homed

Would you give up your home for a life on the road? When Lynette and John Valk sold their three-bedroom home in Blenheim to live in a nine-metre motorhome and explore New Zealand, it was easier than they thought, and they don't regret a thing.

Would you give up your home for a life on the road? When Lynette and John Valk sold their three-bedroom home in Blenheim to live in a nine-metre motorhome and explore New Zealand, it was easier than they thought, and they don't regret a thing.

"We have seen so many hidden gems of New Zealand that we would never have seen if we were still living in a house," says Lynette.

Does the idea of selling up to make a big life change appeal to you? What changes would you like to make?

It's Time! Dementia Waikato volunteers will be out in force this week to collect your donations across the Waikato.

Dementia New Zealand Affiliates serve 70% of New Zealand’s population; Alzheimer’s New Zealand, seeks funds in the Waikato despite having no members that provide services here (nor in Auckland, Wellington, Canterbury, Lakes district, or Hawke’s Bay). If you want your donation used for local dementia services, Dementia Waikato is the only charity that will use your donation locally - we collect donations face-to-face and prioritise services rather than fancy marketing guff.
