The local GY Choir is now opening to new members

We happily welcome beginners just as much as experienced singers - our choir is about having fun! However, a long term commitment is a must.

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

Glenorchy – Ways to share stuff!

Books – Mrs Woolly’s General Store has a Book Exchange Cupboard outside the store. This is a great place to drop any books or magazines that you have read or to pick up a new read. Good turnover here so check regularly.

Food, Cleaning & Hygiene items – outside the Library / Medical building on Islay street. The Glenorchy Pantry is the place to put excess produce from your garden or extra items you buy at the supermarket. This Pantry is maintained by a small group of locals. Local businesses also contribute and our Nurse Debbie is an amazing, continuing source of supplies including cleaning products, fresh vegetables and bread.
