This is only possible because compassionate animal lovers throughout the community support their fight for justice.
SPCA Auckland is calling on you to help for their Annual Appeal from 11th to 13th November. Collectors will take to the streets throughout Auckland, volunteering their time to make a difference for animals in need. Will you please donate to rescue, rehabilitate and seek justice for these innocent creatures? You can donate today at spcaannualappeal.org.nz.
The Timaru RSA is very grateful to all of you who supported our car wash and sausage sizzle last Saturday. We did advertise it in the paper, on Port FM, on Facebook and on signs at the gate however it would appear not everyone saw those and I must admit I only belatedly thought about posting it … View moreThe Timaru RSA is very grateful to all of you who supported our car wash and sausage sizzle last Saturday. We did advertise it in the paper, on Port FM, on Facebook and on signs at the gate however it would appear not everyone saw those and I must admit I only belatedly thought about posting it on Neighbourly.
Just to let you all know we will be holding a Car Boot Sale, $2 Sausage Sizzle with $2 tea/coffee along with the car wash ($5 a small car, $8 a large car, $10 a very dirty car) on the third Saturday of every month at the RSA, 21 Wai-iti Road, Timaru.
If you are interested in bringing some items to sell at the Car Boot Sale call the Club on 688 4123 to book in - just $10 a car boot, $20 for a double site.
Hopefully we will see you here with your dirty car next month and perhaps while it is being washed you could wander around the car boot sale looking for bargains whilst snacking on a sausage and enjoying a coffee!!

For some older people Halloween can be a frightening and scary time so here are some helpful tips so everyone can enjoy themselves and come away with fond memories:
- Make it a family affair and go trick or treating with your kids or a group from your neighbourhood.
- Call your neighbours in advance to make sure it’s okay to call in to trick-or-treat
- If you don’t want trick-or-treaters calling print or make a sign for your letterbox or window saying no thanks. (New Zealand Police have had downloadable signs)
- If you are a trick-or-treater, respect the people who have a sign asking for you to stay away
- Keep your lights on and guests outside
- Keep your eye out for your older family members, friends and neighbours this Halloween and make sure we all get to enjoy the celebration.
Remember you can help make this a great celebration for your family and community and a great opportunity to connect with your older neighbours.
If you want to go one step further Age Concern New Zealand would like to encourage all Kiwis to sign up to their Dignity Champion Campaign to show a commitment to breaking down ageism and stereotypes and encouraging dignity and respect for older people.
Become an Age Concern Dignity Champion www.ageconcern.org.nz... this Halloween and involve and celebrate the older people in your lives.
