The AEA web event is a free monthly online meeting using Zoom video conferencing software. With three 10 minute speakers and member sharing. Participants can join the web event from their phone, desktop, mobile and tablet devices. ALL WELCOME

The purpose of the web events is to carry the message to newcomers who live in areas where there are no AEA meetings and to strengthen areas where there are sole AEA members. These events are not designed to replace face-to-face meetings. Rather, we hope that face-to-face meetings will grow and increase as a result of having regular web events.

Whenever I try to do something for the community, there is someone out there so pull me down. I tried tutoring for free, someone called me a stalker. I tried to raise money for a new way to generate gravity and help humans travel in space, I get called a scammer. I tried to give opportunity for neighbours to invest and make money Get called a scammer.
I am a very happy and content person. All these things are not a loss for me but our community. Because of these unproven and false comments, others miss out. I recon, if you dont have something nice to say about someone. KEEP YOU MOUTH SHUT. Everyone here is a verified neighbour and many know each other personally. No stalkers or scammers here. I feel sad, this is what has happened to New Zealand :(

Flo has got a new home, courtesy of the SPCA.
"Flo the Bunny has settled in really well with us. She bonded pretty quickly with our other bunny, Jupiter, and they are now good bunny-buddies. While Flo weighs about 50 per cent more than Jupiter, she seems to have agreed that Jupiter is in charge of the bunny zone and so all is pretty amiable! Jupiter does give in and groom Flo from time to time but it's pretty clear that he's the boss! Our bunny-loving kid is thrilled with Flo and Brendon the vet has also given her the big tick! We're thrilled to have her in our whānau."
