JOHN FOSTER, NOMINATED BY
LYNN EARL, FROM TOTARA VALE,
AUCKLAND
‘‘John Foster has been my neighbour for
many years. When he had a vegetable
garden, he would pass produce on to me and
when he stopped doing his garden, he gave
me his compost bin in exchange for our
lawnmower! He now puts his grass clippings
into the compost bin. John is also very good
at helping me with cutting my hedge or
wayward branches and also passes on his
newspapers so I can give them to the local
Hospice Shop for wrapping items. John isn’t
just kind: he is also smart and is a Scrabble
champion. He has recently been to Goa for
the World Championships and brought home
a trophy from Brisbane. While I pass on a jar
of marmalade or home preserves to him, I
would like to nominate him for the kind
neighbour recognition award.’’
KIND NEIGHBOUR
We’re looking for the kindest neighbours in town. Nominate someone in
your ’hood – and your special neighbour could feature in community
newspapers around New Zealand as an inspiration to us all. Plus, you’ll both
receive a $50 Prezzy® card! A Kind Neighbour is someone who has helped
make a difference in your life – or the lives of others. Let us know why your
neighbour is so kind by sharing a few words at neighbourly.co.nz/ World Masters Championship in Goa India. John Foster, right, with Bob Jackman, from Australia.
