COMMUNITY SUPPORT
I'd like to extend a HUGE thank you to the following amazing supporters for their generous contributions:
www.facebook.com... for the Weber BBQ (a fabulous friendly local specialising in house cleans etc)
Duck Island in Takapuna for the scoop vouchers
Bunnings Silverdale for the $50 gift card
Burgerfuel for the free burger and shake vouchers, plus a few other products and services from incredible community members
These contributions are all part of an I AM HOPE fundraiser I’m running for Mental Health Awareness Week this month. If you’d like to get involved by donating your time, products, services, or making a standard donation, please reach out to me.
Join me for a quiz night at Paeroa Brewery on the evening of September 26th (Thursday), with all ticket proceeds going directly to I AM HOPE. Ticket details to be advertised next week.

Thank you so much. Each day, my faith in our community and the incredible people who make it up fills me with hope for future generations and what truly matters in life. If we aren't making a difference in the lives of ourselves and others, what are we really doing?

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!
