Stories
Covid Lockdown
We certainly were hit quickly by this lockdown as New Zealand responded to the outbreak of the Delta variant.
 
I was on a flight back to Dunedin on the Tuesday evening, not knowing anything about the lockdown.  I got to Dunedin airport about 6.30pm to find we were going into level 4 lcokdown at 11.59pm that night.
 
I hope you have all been well over the lockdown time and you are looking after each other.  Stay connected.  “We under-estimate sometimes the comfort that phone contact can bring, you can still feel a sense of connection and closeness even if it’s not face-to-face.”  
 
If you are needing any support or jobs done, please reach out to fellow club members.
 
Let's hope we hear that we are moving to Level 2 this week.

Blessed Box
This week we received a copy of the Blessed Box Annual Report 2021, covering the first 3 months of their amazing volunteer support group for young mums.
 
What a great story and a very professionally presented Annual Report. 
 
Well done to this amazing team of volunteers.
