Meet Jason Tarawhiti

Reporter Community News

You might remember that a few months ago Neighbourly featured a picture of Muhammad Ali holding a young baby in Upper Hutt.
That baby was Jason Tarawhiti, who lives in Hamilton and who cherishes that picture.

Bulletin Editor from Karori Lions Club

You will all appreciate just how relieved we were to hear Prime Minister Jacinda announce yesterday that, apart from Auckland, the country would be able to revert to Covid-19 Alert Level 1 - just in time for us to be able to avoid cancelling our 50th annual Karori Lions Karnival on Ben Burn Park … View moreYou will all appreciate just how relieved we were to hear Prime Minister Jacinda announce yesterday that, apart from Auckland, the country would be able to revert to Covid-19 Alert Level 1 - just in time for us to be able to avoid cancelling our 50th annual Karori Lions Karnival on Ben Burn Park this coming Sunday!
So, it is all GO! No rain forecast - a little cloud in the morning and fine in the afternoon. We'll have over 60 stalls again, including our own Karori Lions Book Tent, our own renowned hot dog stall and white elephant stall, along with games and other activities for the kids, a great line-up of entertainers on the stage, and other tempting food stalls. Something for everybody!

This year's event runs from March 20 - 30th with the theme being 'The Great Plant Swap' as an easy way for neighbourhoods to grow stronger together.

Here's some ideas for ways you could get involved:

• swap seeds with a neighbour
• gift a plant you've grown to a neighbour
• take some flowers to a neighbour
• organise a produce swap
• share garden tips or recipes for food in season
• create community gardens or berm pollinator pathways
• host an inclusive garden-themed working bee
• a friendly neighbourhood BBQ with homegrown ingredients

The options are endless! At the end of the day, our shared aim is to help bring people together by encouraging intentional connection with our neighbours. Whether that be organising a street party, sharing a cuppa, or simply saying ‘Kia Ora!” to those who live around you, every action helps to create a safer and more connected New Zealand.

The Benefits of Buying Locally

Robert Anderson from Curtain Clean Wellington (The Wash House)

Want to put your money where your heart is? Locally made products come with a whole lot of benefits - typically higher quality and greater attention to detail being in the top two.

The face behind the product had a dream of starting up on their own, knew in their heart of hearts it was a great product (or service) and believed it could help others. So, they took some risks, took over the dining table, made lots of mistakes, thought about the business day and night - but always kept going. Here are some decent reasons to shop local...

Boosting the local economy: Seventy per cent of all NZ Enterprises are sole traders. That's a big number. But purchasing locally doesn't just build an economic future for small businesses, it’s an economic confidence that spills out into other areas in life and the community.

Customer service: Buy locally and you are sure to receive a customer service above the ordinary. Plus, it's always reassuring to know you can call a local number if somethings amiss or not quite right.

Feel good factor: Knowing that your money lands in the lap of a local business with integrity and passion creates that lovely feel-good factor. You can see the love in the product, the packaging, the personal notes.

Customised goods = meeting consumer needs: More often than not you are talking to the maker directly so selecting a specific colour or changing out something is more likely to happen.
