The Week at Manchester Street

Red Cross Store Manchester St

So this week we have the books on sale for $1.00. With more going out.

We have a lovely wedding dress (10 - 14) on display, just what you are looking for.

Material on the front table still on going with more to come.

There is an awesome 3/4 bed complete with boxed Trundler underneath. This is in great condition.

WE NEED FURNITURE!!!! If you have any that you are wanting to donate please do not hesitate to contact us and we can collect from you 03 3652 051.

A big shout out to the our Red Cross First Response Teams up north and all the work they do.

Just a little information for the readers - The proceeds from our stores across the country go directly to our First Response teams so that they can do what they do in times like those that we are facing at the moment.

If you are wanting to donate there are 3 ways:

Cash Donation on Line redcross.org.nz
Cash Donation within the store
Saleable goods donated to the stores and these sold as mentioned this going to our teams.

And of course by shopping with us you are not only helping with the course but also recycling.

Please note: We are NOT transporting donated goods to the affected areas.

Look forward to seeing you all.

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? πŸ›»πŸš¨πŸš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature β€” and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

How much does it cost to join AEA?

There are no dues or fees for joining AEA or attending AEA meetings. We are self-supporting through our own voluntary contributions. At some point during each meeting we pass the basket to help cover expenses, such as the cost of rent and literature. Members are not obliged to contribute, but we usually do so to the extent we are able.
