MMM is a collaborating with the UXBRIDGE Arts and Culture to celebrate UXBRIDGE's 40th and Howick's 175th Anniversary. From the 20th September to 2nd November, UXBRIDGE will be hosting the Tell-a-phone (a telephone box with a dial phone in it that when picked up records anonymous voice messages) and the MMM Post-box (for people to submit postcards with their photos, drawings, and poems along with the story behind them). We’re inviting the community to share small, meaningful stories about their favourite place in Howick, a fond memory they have of Howick, or to share examples of Howick’s community spirit that make them proud.
Check out the submissions from MMM x UXBRIDGE collaboration by clicking one of the prompts, or viewing the entire collection below!

"I like to bake. My favourite thing to make is vanilla cupcakes and melting moments. I have a cat named Taco and he is two years old (three in Jan). I make melting moments for my family as they love them."

My favourite place to visit in Howick is the Mangemangeroa Reserve with its variety of landscapes, including coastal native bush, salt marsh habitat, farmland and a unique estuary. Such a succession of ecosystems is found nowhere else in East Auckland. I am grateful for the work that has been done in the last 20 years to make it such an asset for Howick. In April this year I become the Chairperson of The Friends of Mangemangeroa and it is a privilege to be able to assist in the upkeep of the Reserve for all the community. The history of how we got to have the reserve is a tribute to all those involved and an interesting part of the history of Howick.

"My favourite place in Howick is my art class (Drawing/sketching). Our class is really fun and we get to draw different things every time. I started this class in Term 1 but they only came in Term 4 again. I like how our teacher Mrs Presnall lets us choose how to draw"
