As a mostly volunteer led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!
Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (16-22 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.

Let's make sure we all arrive alive to where we need to go by following these four simple and proven road safety actions:
- Make sure everyone has their seatbelts on
- Remove distractions and stay focused on driving
- Don’t get behind the wheel if you’ve been drinking or are tired
- Drive at a safe speed for the conditions
With severe and changeable weather forecast for across the country the following winter driving tips are equally important as well.
The only way we can reduce unnecessary road deaths and injuries is by working together to be safe, considerate and alert on the roads. If you spot dangerous driving behaviour or urgent but not life threatening driving incidents you can report it to the New Zealand Police by calling *555 for free from any mobile device.
Have a great long weekend!

The dog park opens tomorrow at 8am.
Many people saying their dogs are missing the dog park, and it's very sociable for the dog owners.
The council doesn't want an large opening "just unlock" the gate. After spending $250.000.00 of rate payers money for the upgrade?

Personally I cant see why so much $$ with still many faults, like open drains that will have people tripping, and possibility of dogs tripping also.
Other agility equipment.
The public has missed an opportunity for input because council wouldn't accept advice from someone who knows dogs. I have trained dogs for over thirty years. And listen to the dog park community.
Tony Gill will be doing dog training lessons at the dog park. In groups or one on one. The important is having control over your dog. Dogs don't have to be robots . Check for new dates for lessons soon.
Thanks Tony Gill
