About Me
- Angelika Frank-Alexander
- After 12 wonderful years in Tonga I came to Christchurch with my husband 13 years ago. We owned a restaurant for 8 years and had great fun meeting our customers. After we started a family it was time to move on. Our son went through the Playcentre movement and so did I with being the president of our local playcentre and then moving on to the Board of the Canterbury Playcentre Association. I also became a member of the National Council of Women. When our son moved on to school so did I. I became involved in the Community Association and I became an elected parent trustee on our school board. To help Immigrants settle in this beautiful city I became the president of the German Society of Canterbury and a Justice of the Peace. Last year I made a debutation to the Spreydon/Heathcote Community Board on behalf of our school and saw results whithin the year. This is when I decided to stand for Local Body Election. You need to be involved to make a difference and I will advocate on behalf of all the families in the Spreydon / Heathcote Community!

- Pink Ribbon Day – 12 October 2007 Friday 12 October is Pink Ribbon Day, the nationwide street appeal for the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation. Breast cancer is one of our nation’s biggest killers. One-in-ten New Zealand women are diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime, and almost every Kiwi family is touched in some way by this terrible disease. The New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation is the country’s foremost breast cancer education and awareness organisation. It receives no direct Government funding and its great work is reliant on volunteers and fundraising initiatives such as this.I urge you to support this good cause and, on 12 October, wear the pink ribbon with pride.If you would like to find out more on how you can support the NZ Breast Cancer Foundation check out their website www.nzbcf.org.nz

Angelika in the Media
- Letter to the Editor of the Press, submitted 30 August Good news buried “CONGRATULATION TO ENERY MAD FOR RECYCLING ECOBULBS”. I found this piece of fantastic news on page A 15 in yesterday’s Press. One of the biggest worries that environment conscious people have is the mercury content in ecobulbs and it is great that we can now safe electrify not contribute to pollution. Isn’t that much more important than petty bickering about election signs? Get real guys, get with the issues.
- Letter to the Editor of The Press, submitted 25 August, “A Good Poke with a Big Stick” Says Doris Church, is needed to shake up Management at the emergency department of Christchurch Hospital. Here is some good news. The change is coming. Independent Citizens campaign on ‘Beds before Bureaucracy’ and that’s exactly what the doctor ordered. More health professionals and less administration is a fail safe remedy for the current gridlock in ED. Angelika Frank-Alexander Independent Citizens Candidate for the District Health Board
- THE PRESS, Saturday 4th August, Page A 19 NO PLACE HERE On behalf of the citizens of Christchurch, please accept our apologies, Leilolala, for the brutal attack you had to suffer on Saturday. Everyone has the right to feel safe in their city and even more in their home. The attackers positioned themselves outside our society; there can be no excuse for their deeds. Racism has no place in Christchurch.
