Jenni from Dinsdale

The Waikato Breast Cancer Research Trust is selling Christmas hampers full of delicious snacks to raise funds to help complete the final two years of follow-up and analysis for one of our sentinel node biopsy surgical trials called the “SNAC 2 trial”. This Breast Surgeons ANZ sentinel node biopsy trial (which is Waikato led in NZ) is looking at the safety of this reduced armpit surgery in women with larger or more than one cancer in the breast and more aggressive cancers.
The Christmas Gift Hamper includes delish local food products which come in a handcrafted wooden tray. The hamper retails at $177 and we are selling for $150 per gift hamper. For further information and TO PURCHASE + FOR MORE INFO VISIT: brightasabutton.co.nz/best-of-hamper-fundraiser

Poll: Have you ever tried learning a language?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hannah Westbury likes to chat with customers at her checkout - so much so that she’s learning sign language for one regular.

Paeroa-based Westbury has worked in Woolworths for the past seven years and moved to checkout a year ago.

What would you do if it was your job to fix Hamilton's CBD?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

More alcohol restrictions, more lighting, busking rule changes and a whole lot of lobbying - these are some ways Hamilton leaders want to sort out the CBD.

Crime and anti-social behaviour in the area has been in the spotlight after recent news of a man defecating in the street near a city pub and another who flipped tables out the back of a bar after being found scrounging cigarette butts and asked to leave.
