PURPLE MONTH (EPILEPSY AWARENESS) EVENT

Hi everyone! I'm Renee and I am the educator for Epilepsy NZ covering the Waitematā.
This month (March) is Purple Month, a month where we recognize, raise awareness and raise funds to support people living with epilepsy in our community.
Purple Month often culminates with Purple Day - March 26th.

This year also happens to be the 70th anniversary of The Epilepsy Association of New Zealand and so I am putting together an event to also celebrate that which I'm hoping will be a bit extra special!

This event will take place on Friday the 20th of March at the Te Atatu Peninsula Community Centre.
I am sending out a call for bakers, artists, businesses willing to contribute raffle items, and all around good-sorts who would be willing to donate their time and talents to this event, supporting those who live with epilepsy and the service we provide them.
I myself will be hosting/MC'ing the event and providing some live music and would love to invite along other musos who would be willing to participate in this as well.
Please reach out to me at auckland.nth@epilepsy.org.nz if you are keen to contribute or be involved in some way and I hope to see lots of you lovely people there!

Hi neighbours,
I need some help with someone who has a big chainsaw to chop up some hardwood mostly oak, they are in chunks largest around 500mm by 400mm. We have a small chainsaw, but doesn't have enough grunt to get thru this wood. We need this wood for the upcoming winter, is currently sitting in a carport which we now need, so any one that can help would be greatly appreciated, will give you small payment for your troubles. Live 1 min from Titirangi village. Probably an hours work, please contact Linda on Ph 021 999-335 if you can help.
