Painting Fundraiser Raffle

Rosanne from Saint Andrews

Want this painting for only $25?!

You can help me raise funds for the Auckland floods and Cyclone Gabrielle response, by purchasing raffle tickets for the sale of this painting!

Hearing about the devastation that is still unfolding from these recent weather events is heartbreaking, and I want to do my part.

I was planning a silent auction instead but like this idea better as more of you can be involved in giving to support our neighbours, friends and family.

DETAILS:
πŸ‚ Each ticket is $25 NZD.
πŸ‚ All proceeds minus the cost of professional packaging & shipping to the winner will be donated to Red Cross.
πŸ‚ To enter please visit my art page on Facebook or Instagram- Rosanne Croucher Art, and message me your name, email address, and number of tickets you want, so I can send through payment details.
πŸ‚ Winner will be drawn on Friday night the 24th February
πŸ‚ The painting will be shipped the following week and I’ll pop a screenshot of the donation confirmation email up on my stories.
πŸ‚ This painting is called Spirited, and is one of my early large landscape works. Oils on canvas, 1m x 1m in size. Based on a windy autumn day scene in Te Anau, New Zealand.

Please share this with family and friends so we can raise as much money as possible ($2700 raised so far!), and good luck for the draw!!

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? πŸ•°οΈ

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?

Plan to keep cash alive

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The Reserve Bank is proposing banks keep a minimum ability for their customers to access cash - often a lifeline in small rural communities where banks have cut branches and opening hours.
