CONSERVATION – Week 5. Materialism. Industrialists love it. Conservationists hate it. Materialism was invented to encourage people to buy more stuff so the rich could get richer, but it is surely destroying our civilisation. What can you do? Buy practical, used stuff, durable rather than fancy fashion stuff. It’s OK to use stuff that’s getting a bit rough and frayed. You are doing your bit to save the planet and upsetting the rich. warren.pettigrew@raztec.co.nz

Bookarama – The Rotary Club of Cashmere is seeking donations of books, CDs, LPs, DVDs, jigsaws and games (no magazines or textbooks) – these can de dropped off at St Martins New World until 17th November.

Be creative for Christmas – help us decorate the Christmas Tree this year, with DIY Festive Stars. Colourful Christmas wrapping paper is ideal – use two sheets, back-to-back, so the star can be viewed from both sides. Attach some string or cotton thread so it can be tied to the tree, or looped over a branch. We will be putting up the tree on 30th November, so bring your stars anytime after that. Instructions for the stars and some examples are in the foyer – and the office during the week. Worship Committee.
