These boxes measure 105cm x 31.5cm x 15cm (or old school 41” x 12.5” x 6”)
White outer and manila inner, sturdy and dry they are great for storing Fabric, Quilts, Wedding dresses, Ball gowns, or for many other uses.
They originally held the Daffodils for Daffodil Day and it seems a shame to simply recycle the cardboard.
There are 16 in total and they don’t all have to go to one person ;)
Free to pick up.

Hey Team

My name is Jordan, I’m from Hamilton and have an idea that you might be interested in.

Have you ever been in a situation where you needed a person/ people to help you with a job but you couldn’t find anyone suitable?

It could have been help with heavy lifting, lawns that you are just busy to mow, a construction site that needs a clean up, gardening that you never get around to, admin assistance work, handyman stuff done around the house, moving offices/ houses etc..
My idea is to connect busy people who need things done with vetted Hamilton locals who have the skills to help out and want to earn a bit of extra cash.

Would you be comfortable filling out a 1 minute survey so that I can get the necessary feedback to get started?

www.surveymonkey.com...

Your time is much appreciated,

Thanks,
Jordan

Ps. If you know anyone else in Hamilton that might be interested in this idea, could you please forward this email?

You have not lived today until you have done some thing for some one who can never pay you back" , John Bunyan.

I have had long hair all of my life, I would be cutting my long lustrous black hair in support of the Cancer Society this Daffodil Day, Friday 25 August 2017 to create a wig for someone who have lost it during their cancer treatment.

I need your support, Any donations are hugely appreciated. and I will be extremely appreciate your support for my fundraising. Idea is not one person donate heaps but more people a little.
I will appreciate your support and you sharing my page to your friends and family and be a part in making a difference.
Thanks heaps.

New Zealand's smash hit rock musical That Bloody Woman is coming to Hamilton! New Zealand’s favourite daughter, suffragist, activist and cyclist Kate Sheppard is transformed from the face on the $10 note into a feminist firebrand raising hell and rocking out.

"Kate’s back: a kick-ass role model for equality and people power. May her message continue to roll out across the country.”
- Metro Magazine

"Bursting with wit, verve and righteously rocking tunes”, That Bloody Woman presents New Zealand's founding mother like you've never seen her before; loud, proud and in your face. Leading the charge to win women the vote, Kate takes on the patriarchy, public opinion and even Prime Minister Richard 'King Dick' Seddon."

Book now for a show on 7-9 September at the Clarence Street Theatre. Tickets are selling fast!
