Fundraiser Fun - come along Saturday 17th April, 3 pm at the Old Library Arts Hub, Rust Ave., Whangarei

Fiona and Mark from Kamo

Kia Ora Friends and Whanau.

Sistema Whangarei - Toi Akorangi are having an Auction/Concert on Saturday 17th April at 3pm at The Old Library on Rust Ave in Whangarei.

The items will be on display from 10 am on Saturday morning at The Old Library so that you can see the beautiful works up close.

We hope to raise funds for our wonderful program so that young people can continue to develop as musicians and generally incredible people. We also hope to raise awareness of the fact that young people have many varied possibilities for greatness in their lives and we hope that the community will enjoy both the amazing artworks created by a young artist in our community (Zoe Watson) and also the wonderful performance by our very own Sistema students.

Please encourage your friends and whanau to come and enjoy the concert, make a donation and have some fun bidding.

Items include amazing artworks, tickets to the New Zealand Symphony, Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra, Professional Acupuncture, IT support, a guitar, earrings by Hayley Douglas, a Voucher for Property maintenance and many other items.

There are lots of amazing things happening for our young people at the moment and in order to keep up with their possibilities we need to continue to raise funds and raise awareness.

If you can't come to the auction concert then feel free to visit our website. There is a link to help you donate if that is how you would like to support. Otherwise please share our website

Mei Leng Wong Reporter from NZ Gardener & Get Growing

Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
