SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Peggy

“Hi, I'm Grandma Peggy. I am a very loveable, sweet and gorgeous old girl.

Since I arrived here at the SPCA, I have been in foster care with my lovely foster mum, who has showered me with love and affection, and has allowed me to let my personality flourish. I melt the hearts of everyone whenever they come in to see me, even my caregivers. My favourite things to do during my day, is to sleep outside on my bed on the verandah (even when it's a bit chilly), and when it's sunny, I like to follow the sun. I would love to go to a home where there may be a big backyard I can lay in during the day (when I'm allowed outside), or somewhere that gets a lot of sun during the day. Because of my long fur, I will need help maintaining it, especially as I get older. Luckily I enjoy having my fur brushed. I will love to be able to spend time with my new family during the day, helping out in the garden, or sitting with you on the couch watching a movie together. Because I am an older girl, I do have arthritis. This means that my joints can sometimes be a bit stiff. I may not do well in a home with a lot of stairs, and I may eventually need help getting up onto things. If you have room in your home and heart for me to live out my retirement years, please make an appointment to come in and meet me. I do come with medical waivers my new family will need to be made aware of, but we can chat about this when you come to meet me “

Karori Rotary is celebrating 40 years of service

Mark Wood from Rotary Club of Karori

The Rotary Club of Karori is one of 36,754 clubs with 1.2 million members in 220 countries and territories around the world.
Like all Rotarians, we share the ideal epitomised in the Rotary motto, “Service above Self”, and, like Rotarians everywhere, we translate our passions into relevant social causes to change lives and make lasting improvements locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.
Our club was chartered in May 1982. This, our 40th anniversary year, is an opportunity to reflect on, and celebrate, the Club’s many activities and achievements over the years. Here is one such achievement:

Probus Clubs
In 1991, our Club, together with the Rotary Club of Wellington, established the Probus Club of Karori, which now meets each month at the Wilton Bowling Club.
The basic objective of Probus is to advance intellectual and cultural interests, promote healthy minds and active bodies through social interaction, and enjoy the fellowship of new friends.
At its first meeting, members voted for the Karori Probus Club to be a combined men’s and women’s club, making it the first ‘mixed’ club in the District.
Membership grew very quickly and, within a short time, reached 120 members. Within a few years, it became obvious that there was unfulfilled demand in Karori and a decision was made to form a second club, the Probus Club of Marsden.
Today, these two Probus Clubs have a combined membership of some 160 members and are more relevant than ever, thanks in no small way to the continuing efforts of charter, and still active, member of the Rotary Club of Karori, Douglas Langford.

Applications for membership are always welcome.
If you’d like to learn more about Rotary and the personal satisfaction and growth that comes from serving others, please contact Andrea Skews, E andrea.skews@gmail.com, M 022 073 5548 or Phil Oliver, E phil@praxissoftware.co.nz, M 021 292 7001.

Karen Jones from Avalon, loves her two pets Ana and Mia.
"Although you can't tell they are sisters and they are now 13 years old and will be 14 this coming January. I brought them back from Australia with me when I came home to New Zealand. They are by my side every day. They love people, walks and treats. They were used to walking every day on the beach in Adelaide but here in Avalon the beach is too far away for us to walk to."
Remember if you want your pet featured on Neighbourly, email us on yourpet@dompost.co.nz with a recent photo. Please remember to say which suburb you live in.
