JUNIOR TRACK WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP FUNDRAISER - 'WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK' T-SHIRT
Our son Alex Schuler, has been selected to represent NZ at the Junior Track World Championships in China this August, this is completely self funded and he has been doing all sorts of fundraising to get himself there. Currently he has a T-shirt fundraiser - $100 gets your name or business name on the back of his T-shirt. He will be wearing the T-shirt to competitions, trainings, Junior World Camps and when travelling to China plus around the local area before and after the champs. We need to get screen printing done in the next week or so and are reaching out to see if there is anyone else who would like to support him. Acc. details are on the flyer. Any other donations can be made to the account but please put T-shirt and a contact No. if you want your name on his back. Please feel free to message me (mum) with any questions. Any support would be greatly appreciated!
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?
-
60.1% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Wild weather in the Waikato
The Waikato really copped it over the weekend, with wild weather leaving a hefty clean-up bill that may run into the millions.
While things are looking calmer in the days ahead, there are still plenty of slips and flooded roads across the district — so if you’re heading out, take it easy and stay alert.
We want to know: How did you and your whānau get on over the weekend?
