Seeing red: Zorica Rebernik of the small town of Breze in Bosnia, loves the colour red. In fact, she loves it so much that she tries to make sure everything around her is red. The retired schoolteacher lives in a red house filled with red furniture. Her hair is dyed bright red and she dresses in red clothes. Red flowers adorn her table, she sleeps on red bed sheets and drinks out of red glasses. Rebernik claims that her love of red started at about age 18 and hasn't abated. She wore a red wedding dress when she married her husband, Zoran. Arctic adventure: Adventure tourists looking for a little luxury might want to call a travel agency called Luxury Action. The Scandinavian company plans to place portable “igloos” on the ice at the North Pole during the month of April. The igloos are heated and have glass walls and ceilings so guests can admire the northern lights in the Arctic sky. Those interested in the adventure, which also includes hikes on glaciers and wildlife sightings, will fly in by helicopter. Guests hoping to stay there will need plenty of money. The trip costs about US$100,000 per person. Reunited: Mike Plas of Thunder Bay in Ontario, Canada, lost his dog Jack in 2015 when Jack disappeared from his yard. When Jack didn't come home, Mike had to face the fact that he might never see his canine friend again. Imagine his surprise when, four years later, he got a call from an animal hospital located in Winnipeg, Manitoba – 800km away. They had found a dog with a microchip that contained Mike's contact information. Mike drove all the way to the hospital and was reunited with Jack, who whined and jumped, and gave him lots of doggy kisses. It was a happy reunion! Making up time: Jenny Wilson and Kath Millns lived all their lives only 20 minutes away from each other near Rothingham in England. However, the twin sisters in their seventies didn't know each other. Kath never knew she had a twin, but at age 11, Jenny had discovered that their mother had placed them for adoption when they were born. Jenny’s daughter, Nicole O'Halloran, initiated a search on social media, and eventually found Kath. Since their emotional reunion, the sisters have become very close, visiting each other's homes regularly and going out for coffee.

We SOLD the property (land & buildings) in May 2018. The Manurewa RSA is still a full member of Clubs NZ and RNZRSA. We have used the proceeds of the sale to secure the future of WELFARE for the members and service/ex-service personnel and their whanau. We are an 'RSA without Borders'. We will continue to assist all those who approach us for remembrance and comradeship (welfare). We WILL NOT be going back into the Bar/Restaurant or Gambling business. Our focus is on support services as per the RNZRSA motto 'People helping People'. We have started a Drop In centre for members in the Freyberg Lounge. The door will be open and there will be members here. Mondays / Wednesdays / Fridays 10 am to 3 pm for tea, coffee and a chat. Membership is open to anyone who wishes to belong to an RSA and its values. The subscription costs are low to reflect that we do not have the other revenue streams. The cost is just to cover the capitation we pay to other entities and also a little administration (cards/compliance etc). We welcome applications for membership but if you choose not to belong to us that does not stop our commitment to helping veterans with their entitlements. We have support service advisors on hand to assist with any queries about Veterans Affairs, ACC or entitlements attributable to service. Read our January Newsletter which is published on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/Manurewa-RSA-1469137590053064 Due to the recent Manurewa RSA rule changes, we are however asking all existing members to refill in a membership form so that we might maintain the accuracy of our contact database. Looking forward to meeting all our existing and potentially new members.

Native to India and the western Himalayas, it is found elsewhere in Asia, North America and Europe.
