About this Event
Haere mai new Waiheke residents!
Have you come to live on Waiheke in the last year or so and are looking to learn more about being sustainable at home or how to connect more with your community? Come down to the Waiheke Sustainability Centre on Wednesday 9th April from 5:30pm for a fabulous summer evening soiree of delicious dishes, fun activities and on the spot prizes to help you get to know a little more about your new home and what the island has to offer.
WRT’s delicious Kai team will be providing nibbles from rescued food form our Kai Conscious project but we please ask you to bring a dish or dessert to share for the potluck. Please label any potential allergens that may be in the dish. You can also BYO alcohol or drinks.
There will be stalls of some key supporters to residents on the island at the event, so we encourage you to ask those burning questions to help you settle into the island lifestyle. Learn how to compost, how to reduce your food waste, and how you can get involved with community projects!
