WHAT A GREAT GIRLS DAY OUT....
We still have some tickets for the Habitat for Humanity Op Shop tour on Saturday 5th August. Bookabus are chauffeur driving 30 ladies between 3 of our stores - Ormiston Rd, Panmure and Pukekohe stopping enroute for lunch at Cafe Palazzo in Karaka which includes a glass of wine/coffee or tea. Your guide for the day Marilyn, our Panmure Restore Manager and interior designer, will give you some great tips on how to buy great quality goods for less, how to design a room and, along with Restore Pukekohe's very own Noreen, teach you about antiques. If you are currently redecorating a room bring your paint and fabric samples and let us show you how to take a room from drab to fab. Whether you are a seasoned pro or new to the world of op shopping this is a great opportunity to meet new friends and learn a skill that will save you money. The tour starts at 9am from our Ormiston store - 8 Ormiston Road, East Tamaki and returns at 4pm. We look forward to introducing you to our Aladdins caves that are Habitat Restore! For further information phone Debbie on 022 1239536. Spaces are limited so book TODAY.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
