We all love a cheeky grin and a wave from our local grocer, or a toot from the delivery driver, or a coffee order that’s ready before we arrive. And especially over the last year, it’s been the small businesses in our communities that have almost made things seem ‘normal’.

Resene will then donate all the food brought in to The Salvation Army local foodbanks.
By adding a little more colour to your life you can also help those in need. When you bring in 2 cans of food you'll save on your testpot purchase (save up to $5.90 on an 80ml testpot) while also helping provide disadvantaged Kiwis with food parcels when they need them most.
So start gathering up those cans and bring them into your local Resene owned ColorShop.
Less is best – plastic that is. So what better way to help the environment than to create your own fun, reusable calico shopping bag? Paint your own with Resene testpots.

Hi all
A little delayed, but better late than never. And a non-COVID related reason for the delay, just for something different. I guess that's what happens when you run something off the smell of an oily rag and a very lean team of volunteers: when one person gets ill, production grinds … View moreHi all
A little delayed, but better late than never. And a non-COVID related reason for the delay, just for something different. I guess that's what happens when you run something off the smell of an oily rag and a very lean team of volunteers: when one person gets ill, production grinds to a halt.
Pleased to say that we are all back up and running and using a new printer! Eeek! A leap of faith but it's one I hope paid off.
If you also receive a printed version of the publication, give it some scrutiny and let me know your feedback: good, bad but preferably constructive.
Happy new year to you all. May this year be one of positive growth and momentum.

Amanda and the team at Te Kowhai News

Hi Booklovers!
We have a new venue – Maramarua on SH 2. This time of the year we would usually be in Waikino but their hall is not available because of renovations so I've managed to find a new venue at Maramarua. We opened yesterday, Saturday 5th and will be here until Sunday 13th.
The hall at Maramarua is on a little hill in front of the fire station. It is on the south side of SH2. If you are coming up SH27, or from Paeroa or Tauranga, as you pass the general store you can see it in the distance on top of the hill so slow down to catch the entrance.
I can't put my little truck (Little Toot) at the entrance as this will hinder fire station personnel arriving on a callout so it will be parked across the road – the best we can do.
Our usual opening hours are 9am – 6pm.
The hall hire was only agreed last weekend, too late to advertise in the local papers, but it will be in this week so that should bring a few more people out. The weather has been so hot this week, regularly 30 degrees, so packing and moving into the hall (using the large and small trucks) has been extremely tiring. However we are now in and all set up so please come and check out our books.
There are several cafes here at Maramarua, including the pub which serves meals. We will probably try out the pub for dinner tonight. It's too hot to cook after a long day looking after books – well that's my excuse if I needed one!!
My friend Jennifer is up here with me for this event and maybe for Eureka next month.
You may notice changes in the way some books are priced. I have been buying in some books for those very popular authors who have their own boxes. Unfortunately this means there are more yellow stickers in these boxes than previously.
My friend Rod's garden art should arrive later today. He has his usual wind wands but has introduced a new range of crystal wands which reflect the sun and will look lovely in the garden.
Thanks to all of you who are doing the Covid-19 things endeavouring to keep us all safe. We have the usual Covid sign in forms and the user app pictures on a table inside the hall.
In my next newsletter I will provide the Eureka book fair dates for 2022 for you to diarise.
Best wishes
Trudi
