Tawa Lions Saturday Market
The weather forecast for tomorrow is looking good so shopping at Tawa Lions Saturday Market at Outlet City will be a great place to spend time stocking up your fresh veges, eggs, honey and various produce and products from local community stalls on the day.
Councillor Malcolm Sparrow has promised to be there from 11 am for an hour or so to promote and sell 200 litre water tanks as a household disaster emergency water supply. Profits go to charity.
This week our Honey Stall will have Creamed Meadow, in addition to Liquid and Creamed Bush. We also have our usual range of eggs, along with some supplies of jam from Suzette at Idle Kitchen, all while stocks last so come early to avoid disappointment.
Profits from this market go to the Tawa Lions Charitable Trust, supporting worthy local causes.
If you have any questions about our market feel free to ask the folks under the white canopy beside the Tawa Lions van on the day, or email tawamarket@lionsclubs.org.nz.
Tawa Lions gratefully acknowledges the support of Outlet City over the past 11+ years of operation.
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
