Unveilings for WW1 soldiers
On Saturday, 5 November, NZ Remembrance Army are unveiling two new headstones for WW1 soldiers at Park Island cemetery. Meet at the top of the cemetery by 10am. Park island is the one with the EarthQuake Memorial, not the one across the road with the flagpole and service section.
Napier RSA have helped us out by donating the funds to provide wreaths for these soldiers. All are welcome to attend and learn about their service.
Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.

Suellen’s sweet Christmas tradition
The festive season is always a great excuse to indulge your sweet tooth, and this time of year poses the perfect opportunity to bring a real showstopper to the Christmas table.
For Suellen’s family, that showstopper is Croquembouche, an impressive tower of cream puffs bound together with spun sugar that is popular at weddings in France and Italy.
What began as a birthday treat at a local French café has become a cherished Christmas tradition for Suellen and her 17-year-old twin granddaughters, Ellie and Sadie. Every year, the trio gather in Suellen’s apartment at William Sanders Village to cook this festive dessert - a holiday highlight they all treasure.
