It's in the Bag? - a St John Charity Fundraiser
events.stuff.co.nz...
Expect to have a fun-filled night based around the 70's TV show 'It's in the bag', but with a twist.
Throughout the night you could have the chance to win one of twelve bags. All it will take is your number to be called (you will get one when you arrive at the door) and correctly answering three simple questions.
The event is an R18 evening as a cash bar will be available. Food will also be available from some great food vendors.
A great raffle and some awesome auction items will be up for grabs also.
This will be a St John charity ambassador led evening with all proceeds going directly to St John to help with the great work they do as first responders and within the community.

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?

59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!

26.2% No, individuals should take responsibility

After ten years of depression, my life had hit rock bottom
I remember being ‘different’ around food for most of my life. This included things such as being the person who had two cream buns at morning tea when everyone else had one; eating icing sugar by the spoonful directly from the packet; and being the family member who went into the kitchen after dinner to eat the leftovers. There are numerous other examples – too many to list. I could overeat anything. If I couldn’t get my preferred favourites (e.g. chocolate), I’d be eating the vegetables.
