Volunteers for our Curtain Bank needed
Hi neighbours. We need people to help us at our Onekawa workshop. You do not need to sew to volunteer. No roster, no commitment, just come when you can. Sorting donations, measuring curtains, all sorts of non-sewing roles available for those who can stand for about 2-3hrs with a nice chatty tea break at 1030am. Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursdays mornings 9am to about 12 noon/1pm. Give me a call to chat about the roles. Kind regards, Bonnie

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
