Matariki Flags are now flying in Howick village and they look amazing.
On each flag pole is a sticker with a QR code that gives you insight into this wonderful project, the artists, and the designs chosen.
For those of you following our chairman Gerald Patterson’s cycling and fundraising adventure, he’s currently in Nebraska in the United States and has raised $44,000 for Motor Neurone Disease NZ.
As of a couple of days ago he’d cycled 2,374km and climbed 18,529 metres – as a comparison Mount Everest is 8,848 metres.
We are receiving Howick HOP registrations daily for our event on October 12.
Spots are filling up fast so if you know of a car enthusiast who would be interested in participating, email manager@howickvillage.co.nz for a registration form.
Also, do you have an amazing group in your school or community group that would be interested in performing at our Christmas Fair event on Friday, November 15?
We’re looking for musicians/dancers/entertainers who would like to showcase their talents to our community during our Christmas event.
This is a great opportunity for your school or group to be recognized and promote the wonderful talent we have in east Auckland.
Every couple of months we share events and information with our local businesses and community through our Chimes newsletter.
We have a database for automatic emailing of this community newsletter so let us know if you would like to be included on this list.
On Saturday, June 29, we’re holding our annual Eco Day.
Come to the Howick War Memorial Hall building in the market square during the morning to see the very popular Hands On Creatures, along with other stalls from Pest Free Howick, Pigeon Mountain Garden Club, Friends of Mangemangeroa and learn about the Cockle Bay Residents and Ratepayers Association’s walkways restoration project.
