re: True Neighbourly
11 days ago I posted a request for musicians to play at a lunch I was hosting to celebrate the end of diabetes awareness week. The lunch wasn't a grand affair, we had no celebs join us but I did have two responses to my request. Thank you Paul Metcalfe and friend for taking time out of your busy working day as a builder to come along and support our efforts. Thank you to others from local schools who also offered.
I would also like to add that now is a great time to get your diabetes under control and before the silly season starts! We all know what its like "I'll just have one...." and then hey presto its January 13th and you have put on 2-3kg which you can't budge. Talk to us now about mindful eating in diabetes - 07 5713422

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!
