Spring is on the horizon with the annual Daffodil Day fundraiser for the Cancer Society.

Bunches are $20 for 20 daffodils that will arrive in GY on Monday 23 August.

Every year thanks to such amazing generosity, Glenorchy has raised between $1500 - $2000 for the Cancer Society which directly supports care for people in our region.

If you’re keen on a bunch or 10 this year, please get in touch with Katherine Schuitemaker at katherinejamesschuitemaker@hotmail.com or text 021-929-972 before August 3. 

Single woman moving back home and looking for accommodation. Ideally, a two bedroom or a one bedroom with office space sized cottage.  I have all of my own furnishings but can store them if your place is furnished.

 I am a non-smoker, house proud person.  Just selling up my home in Southland and wanting to take some time off and enjoy life for a little while!  Please email me on dannaburton2@gmail.com. 

Thank you.

Want to volunteer to make LUMA a zero waste event? Sustainable Queenstown is DISHrupting LUMA from 4th - 7th June which means all the food vendors in the LUMA Lounge will be using their metal plates, getting rid of the need for single use ones.
LUMA has an incredible vision to be a zero waste event and food servewear plays a huge part in this. To make this happen, Sustainable Queenstown needs volunteers...or should we say, LUMAteers!
If you're interested in being part of the DISHrupt team at LUMA and helping with collecting plates, washing plates, keeping the food vendors well stocked and being an ambassador for reusables at events, they would LOVE to hear from you.
Get in touch with Jess at Sustainable Queenstown with your availability on 4th - 7th June between 4pm and 10pm. Please note: this will be a physical job and you'll be on your feet the whole time. You'll definitely get your steps in! And it will be a whole lot of fun! sustainable.queenstown@gmail.com
