Volunteers don’t require any specific skills other than a willingness to invest their time and energy in taking care of the property. Some bricklaying or basic carpentry skills would be ideal.

Learn the story of Blue Smoke
Ruma Karaitiana will give a talk in Palmerston North to mark the 75th anniversary of the release of Blue Smoke.
The song was written by his father, Ruru Karaitiana, and sung by Pixie Williams. It became the first record wholly produced in New Zealand from composition to pressing.
Ruma Karaitiana will also talk about the 28th Māori Battalion in World War II.
He is a Rangitāne kaumātua and chairman of Rangitāne o Manawatū's commercial arm.
The talk will be held on Thursday, February 8, from 12pm-1pm at Central Library.
Donations to the Royal New Zealand Engineer Charitable Trust would be appreciated.
