"Express Yourself" Paint and Sip evenings

Tracey from Otaki District

🎨 “Express Yourself” Paint and Sip evenings: Unleash Your Inner Artist! 🍷
Join us for a night of creativity, colour, and a touch of indulgence! Our Sip & Paint evening is the perfect mix of art and relaxation — no experience needed, just bring your sense of fun (and your favourite drink!).
You’ll be guided step-by-step by an experienced art teacher who knows how to make painting easy, enjoyable, and full of personality. Together, we’ll turn a blank canvas into your very own creative masterpiece — with plenty of laughs and sips along the way.
All art materials are provided — you just bring the good vibes. Whether you come solo, with friends, or as part of a group (great end of year office party option!)... it’s the perfect way to unwind, connect, and let your imagination flow.
So pour yourself a glass, pick up a brush, and let’s make something beautiful — one sip at a time!

Scan the QR code attached or search www.facebook.com... for further details.
Sessions limited to 20 people.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

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!

Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.

We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️

We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?

Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.
