5.Finding your feet in a new town can be hard,especially if you're covered in fur and don't speak the language.But for pets new to Marlborough,help is at hand.Marlborough SPCA and the Railway Café,in Blenheim,have joined forces to help welcome pets and their people to the region with a fortnightly morning tea.They hope the morning teas will get tails and tongues wagging as well as giving advice on how to make the move smoother.
Railway Café owner Leanne Harris came up with the innovative(创新的) plan as a way to help welcome people to the area.Leanne moved to Marlborough from Auckland two years ago and said she initially struggled to find friends and feel part of the community."Coming from Auckland I thought people would open their doors and that there would be neighbours calling round with cake.I expected people to come to me and,of course,it wasn't like that.I did get lonely."I hope to save newcomers having to wait as long as I did to feel part of it all.I would like to welcome them to the town."
Free platters of sandwiches,cakes and other goodies will be on offer,for the people,while there will be special handmade yoghurt and banana treats for the dogs.The morning teas will take place in the covered area at the back of the popular café beside the railway station off Grove Rd.
Leanne said she was happy to devote both her time and effort into giving back to the community and felt the venture was a great fit with the SPCA.
"Volunteering is such an amazing thing to do and it changed things for me completely,and I met some amazing people with similar interests."
SPCA Op Shop manager Karina Greenall,originally from the United Kingdom,said she also wanted to help."I can give advice on how to resettle pets,the best parks to go to,where the best walks are and where the vet centers are in town."There will be volunteering opportunities too for people where they can help out and hopefully make friends too."
