Hello Neighbours, I am hoping you or someone you know may be able to help .

My eldest daughter Willow (12) marches in the Pioneers of Canterbury Under 16 Marching team and I am a chaperone for the team.

We are exactly one month away from our NZ championships in Hamilton and unfortunately after many a fundraiser we are still short on our financial requirements to attend the event.

We are approaching local/small businesses who might be interested in making a contribution to our team in the form of sponsorship, either for an individual marcher or to the team.

In return we can promote the business in our newsletter, on our Facebook page and at prizegivings and for larger team sponsorships we can put the business logo on our team gear which is taken to every training and competition both local (every Saturday at Nunweek Park) and Nationally for South Island Champs and National Champs.

I have attached some information for you in the form of a letter from our coach Amanda and a couple of photos of the team in action.

If you have any questions please feel free to ask or email me - philippahardaker@yahoo.co.nz.


Thank you :)

Over the past few weeks, I have observed that:
1. No new surveys are available
2. I tried to redeem a $20 reward out of available balance of $27.75, but could not. "An unexpected error has occured. Please contact us...." was the message I received.
I smell a rat......and would be keen to know if anyone else has had a recent experience - positive or otherwise.
Thanks in advance.
