Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!
I've just been posting this on the Karori Lions Club's "Group Page":
The popular and delicious Lions Christmas Cakes are now available for sale in Karori.
All profits go to charity. $25 for this very special 1kg cake - full of tasty nutrition and a minimum shelf life of two years. For many across New Zealand the Lions Christmas Cake has become a tradition.
Enjoy the win-win of contributing to charity and having a Christmas and year-long treat.
Now on sale at Gipps St Butchery, and on Saturday 25th November Karori Lions will be selling the cakes in Karori Mall. Or send a message to our Facebook page to place an order – for 2 or more cakes we will deliver to a Karori address for prepaid cakes.
BONUS! – Purchase two cakes from the above sources and go into the draw for a $250 Interislander travel voucher.
I've already sampled one of my own and can really vouch for the quality!
Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
