Attached is the May issue of the Te Kowhai News.

This is the first issue of the new-look design. Printed copies (being delivered to RD8 today) will all have colour covers and inside and out which means all the great photos from the community will be in colour.

I hope you like the new look magazine.

In this issue:
• "I don’t know much…” interview with Dame Malvina Major.
• School Quiz night – the highlight of my annual social calendar ;o) - on 30 June.
** NOT on 1 July as stated in printed copies of the magazine. **
• Update on the new sub-developments and zone changes coming our way.
• Stranger danger as Te Pahu School kids attempted abduction.
• All the usual local news and events.

Please do keep Te Kowhai News in mind should you have anything news worthy to share. Anything from local interesting stories, anecdotes, sporting or academic achievements, new businesses that need a bit of profile, good things and not so good things going on in your area. Send me photos if you can or just get in touch and we can work it out.

Outstanding local animal control team effort to celebrate

Cara from Ngaruawahia

7 year old husky type impounded with grossly infected eyes from entropia of top and bottom lashes in both eyes. 7 years of pain and discomfort.

Best thing that could have happened to her was find her way into the pound... because... thanks to the big hearts at the pound, funds have been raised to get her the surgery she desperately needs so she can start life fresh with new and improved eyes.

See plenty of bad press about pounds around the country so let's level the playing field with a good news story.

She will need a suitably fabulous home post surgery so any prospective home offers need to go to Amanda D at Waikato District Council pound team - 078248633 or 0800492452

Kudos to the team, they do a fab and unenviable job in our community.

Plenty of dogs and pups needing homes in pounds and rescues that support them - so adopt don't shop and stop unnecessary breeding. 💕

Do you want to change your chemical house to a non toxic one?
Thought about changing to non toxic but been worried about the cost?
Know anyone with eczema or allergies?
Know of any kids that have been poisoned by household cleaners?
Worried about your own kids getting poisoned at your place, grandparents or friends houses?
Thought about more income for your household but worried about hours?

If non toxic was the same price or cheaper than chemical products and did a brilliant job - what is there to think about, really? 🤔

Free info evening tonight Wed 24th May - 653 Ngaruawahia Rd, Te Kowhai 7pm
We can show you a range from over 450 non toxic products - we don't sell them direct. They are brought online through an online supermarket - delivery 5 - 7 days 😊


Looking after our families, children, employees, environment and ourselves 💕

Until last month :( I always prebooked 6 weeks in advance and was totally surprised to get a message on my answerphone saying... quote "Robyn is no longer with us so we have cancelled your appointment". unquote. How very professional. I have since heard that another employee has also left.
I am wondering if anyone knows my fav hairdresser Robyn. I would love to get in touch with her and ask her to continue cutting my hair. During all the time she has been cutting my hair, I never did ask her for her surname.
