Unfortunately, Rome was not built in a day so a lot of work has gone into these events. First up is the Petition/Call for action
* The Petition/Call For Action is now available in Otaki at Maoriland and will be available at the Otaki Library sometime today. Either myself or someone else will circulate to other places in Otaki and those places will be mentioned here where that will be. I will be circulating it in Paraparaumu Beach today and further places in Paraparaumu tomorrow. Waikanae will have places available for it later today. Places of interest where I would like to circulate it to are Paekakariki and all areas in Raumati and that will start from tomorrow also unless someone is keen to meet up with me and have the Petition/Call For Action available in their vicinity
* Put this date in your diary for the Hikoi to raise awareness of the critical situation of Homelessness. 4 December gathering in Paraparaumu Beach at 1.30 pm and setting off at 2.00 pm to the area between Kapiti Library and KCDC building. Did you know this area is called the Speakers Corner (further details coming later today or tomorrow)
* Available now is a survey to be completed anonymously at this link

Our nurses have valuable advice about symptoms, treatments, support groups and post-surgery options.
The breast care nurses have visual and hands-on displays of breast cancer symptoms that most women won’t have seen before, and will use prosthetic breasts to show what a lump feels like. We are currently touring the Porirua and Wellington regions with the Pink Caravan.
Our breast nurses would love to have a chat to you, so check out where the Caravan is headed and when it comes to a town near you, pop in and say hi.
- On 15 November, our team of breast care nurses will park the Pink caravan in Paraparaumu for the day at Coastlands Shopping centre (Coastlands Shoppingtown Ltd, State Highway 1, Paraparaumu)
- On 16 November, our team of breast care nurses will park the Pink caravan in Otaki for the day at New World (155-163 Main Highway, Ōtaki).
