I am looking for a lovely flatmate to come and join me in a lovely 3 bedroom very sunny house in Northland/Wilton.

Kia ora,
I am looking for a lovely flatmate to come and join me in a lovely 3 bedroom very sunny house in Northland/Wilton.
I am a mature early childhood teacher in Thorndon and have one 3 year old cat that lives with me. Would you like to join us too?

The weekly rent is $300 which includes internet. Power and cleaning products will be split between us as required.

The house has a garden, carport, is fenced and looks out over Otari bush.

The Number 22, 13 buses leave right outside the neighbours house and run through the city and past Vic University.

Ideally there would only be myself and one other living here as it would be great to be able to keep one of the rooms spare for guests or an office if needed.

Here is the trademe post. trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=3570043565

All questions welcome

Nga mihi

"I have Buckley and Bhodi who both love pats so much and meeting new people on our walks around Karori. Mostly like being around home and having their besties Millie and Pixie pug over for a play but when we get to the beach it’s sand baths and zoomies."

Attached is a photo of my sweet dog Maddie, an 8 year old Norwich Terrier. Maddie came into my life about 15 months ago to heal my heart after I lost my JRT called Pippa four months previously. She settled in immediately and is my joy in life. Loves her walks, her treats and cuddles on my lap. She’s just perfect in every way.

SPCA Pet of the Day: Meet Carlos

I am a great dog who loves to have cuddles, I love to have humans around me. Due to my young age I would be better for me to go to a home that has no young children. I can be a little shy with new people and then I am a bouncy bean. I would be fine for me to go to a home with teenagers.
So far I had a little bit of training, I am a bit uncoordinated and jumpy. With training, we both need to start from scratch. I am very willing to learn. You will see me blossom from an uncoordinated boy to a very well trained dog that will stick by your side. I need to be introduced to the world slowly as it can be a little overwhelmingly for me. I am great with other dogs at the centre and love to play. A home with a slightly older dog would mix well with me, so they can show me the ropes on how to be the best dog. If you are a ready for a new man in your life, please click on my profile and my heart could be yours forever."

Meet Carlos, a male mixed breed who is 14 months old.

"Hi there, my name is Carlos or Mister Wiggle as they like to call me here at the SPCA. I am a bouncy dude that would love a home that loves larger-than-life personalities. I would love to go to a home where my owner is prepared to continue my basic training as I had none prior to SPCA. I am needing a routine where I am not left for more than 4 hours at a time, this is just to begin with, until I am more settled into my new home. I am wary to begin with, with strangers but with a suitable home I will be coming out of my shell in no time, like I have at the SPCA Teenagers or adults would be a good fit for me. I could go to a home with another dog, one that is social, loves a good play and happy to show me the ropes. I can be a bit enthusiastic when meeting other dogs so the dog would need to be patient with me. I may be able to live with a confident cat."

Karori Rotary is celebrating 40 years of service
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.
1986: The Marsden Club
The Rotary Club of Karori has supported the Marsden Club in Newcombe Crescent, Karori since its inception 1984. The latter provides quality day programmes for people with dementia and related disorders, and guidance and support to their caregivers.
In 1986, we established the Rotary Karori Marsden Community Trust and, over the next 10 years, raised $186,000 to purchase the Newcombe Crescent property from the Nursing Sisters of the Little Company of Mary.
In 1993, then Trust Chairman and Past President of Karori Rotary, Eric Aston, on behalf of Karori Rotary, arranged for British actress, Stephanie Cole (Aunty Joan in Doc Martin) to tour New Zealand with her one woman performances of plays by Alan Bennett (famed English actor, author, playwright and screenwriter). This tour alone raised $40,000 and helped us complete the purchase of the Newcombe Crescent property in 1996.
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, M021 292 7001.
