Call out for Community support for Children's Show

Dave from Te Awamutu

Hey Everyone, I'm a creative artist here in Te Awamutu

I have been working on a project the last 3 months to bring a FREE Childrens show into Libraries by ways of a Pantomime Puppet show!

I can do the physical work to get the show running, but I haven't got the financial means to be able to fund this myself.

This is where I am calling for your help and the whole communities help, to be able to fund the building of the puppets and their theatre.

Please any help, even if only $5 will go a long way to get this project across the finish line!

Btw there are REWARDS!! click the #Pledgeme link to check them out!!

Thank you!🌈🌈🌈

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
