Washable Face Masks
How are you all coping with the 2nd Lockdown in Auckland? I know it's hit some families hard. I used my "spare" time sewing face masks for my family. When my friends saw them, they said " I want some of them too". So am selling them for just $8 or 2 for $15 + postage or pick up from Sunnyhills. It's been a great way to use up the material I have stored for many years. And for every mask sold, I am donating $1 to Howick Croquet Club. Please let me know how many you would like. I have attached a photo of me and my granddaughter on the morning of the 2nd lockdown. I have used up all of the bright material Issy & I are wearing but still have plenty of options. Looking forward to helping you keep "covered" from COVID.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
58.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.8% ... It is complicated
