Internet banking orders need to be in by midnight Monday 4 October for pick up from your chosen location Thursday 7 October. Remember to bring a couple of bags.
Instructions on how to order can be found in the document attached. Your Internet Banking payment you make also serves as our ordering system.
We are so excited to welcome a new pickup-partnership! We welcome Sammy Norton CEO of the Industry Training Solutions (ITS) Allsorts Centre and her team. What an amazing organization this is. Allsorts is a cafe, a safe and inclusive space for community gatherings. They also work with ITS providing classes. Details about the Allsorts pick up point can be found in the Instructions; however, even if you do not live centre-city I recommend visiting Allsorts anyway and staying for a cuppa.
Have a lovely weekend everyone and please stay safe and well.

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.

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!
