Unwanted medals

Giulia from Newtown

Hello neighbours,

I have a few medals that I no longer want, I was wondering if anyone has an idea of what to do with them apart from recycling them/where to donate them/or if anybody wants them (after lockdown)?
Cheers and hope everyone is well and safe!

Administration Team from Island Bay Presbyterian Church

Traditionally, the churches of Island Bay hold an ANZAC service at Island Bay School. This year, leaders of the churches of Island Bay have prepared a video service for us: an ANZAC Message, prayer, reading from “For the Fallen”, a bugle call, then a minute’s silence.

Traditionally, the churches of Island Bay hold an ANZAC service at Island Bay School. This year, leaders of the churches of Island Bay have prepared a video service for us: an ANZAC Message, prayer, reading from “For the Fallen”, a bugle call, then a minute’s silence.
At 10am on Saturday 25 April, gather in your bubble – in your driveway, garden or lounge – to pause, reflect and commemorate ANZAC Day. Here's the link: youtu.be...


Here are other ways our ANZACs:
Make a paper or chalk poppy to decorate the front of your house.
AND
Listen to the dawn service, 6am on National Radio
GO TO
www.standatdawn.com... for resources, children’s activities, recipes, a ‘decorate your letterbox’ competition and ways to support our service people.
THEN
Receive a virtual poppy identity by donating via the RSA Givealittle page!



ANZAC Day is a time to pay respect and acknowledge the many thousands of our military people who are serving or have served, who are called upon to support New Zealand in times of war, conflict and disasters. We can’t gather as we might normally, but we can still remember.

We’ve been privileged to help Kiwis get the essentials needed to work, study, and stay connected. It’s led to huge demand and some orders are taking longer to deliver. We’d really like to apologise to the customers who’ve experienced these delays.

To help get it sorted faster we’ve quadrupled our Customer Care team, and expanded our order fulfilment network so we can get thousands more orders delivered each day. Plus our remote Tech Solutions service will be free until May 11 to lend customers a hand with technology advice or setting up.

Thanks for your patience, everyone. We’re getting there.
