Nominate a Neighbourhood Champion!
Do you know someone in your neighbourhood who deserves a pat on the back for making it a better place to live? It may be that they make an effort to welcome new neighbours, or do practical things to help people in the neighbourhood. Or it may be that they organise neighbourhood BBQs, or galvanise people to tackle neighbourhood issues.
Well here’s your chance to acknowledge what they do: Neighbourhood Support Nelson wants to recognise such people, so we’re inviting nominations for our annual Neighbourhood Champion awards.
To nominate someone fill out a nomination form here. Nominations close at 5pm on September 5 and the awards will be presented at our AGM on September 18. Award winners will be presented with Mitre 10 Mega gift vouchers, and certificates.
Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?
Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
