A massive THANK YOU!
Following up on my last post for Karori Lions, we - and the Karori Food Bank - want to thank everyone who contributed to to the Food Bank collection last Saturday. The results of your generosity can be seen in the accompanying photo of the Food Bank's storage shelves which are now looking pretty healthy!
The Food Bank's services have been in heavy demand in recent months and this demand can now be met with good confidence for the next period.
We will be holding our next major collection in early November, but remember that the Food Bank always welcomes your donations at any time of the year, and they can be left in the labelled bin at the Karori Community Centre.

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
