Have you used the Lions Lodge in Hamilton, or do you know someone who has?
A cancer lodge that had a $550-a-day shortfall has been thrown a lifeline in the form of more government funding.
The Lions Lodge in Hamilton provides stays and meals at no expense to patients travelling for treatment, and the extra money means Waikato BOP Cancer Society boss Helen Carter “can sleep at night”.

Poll: Do you think fining illegal dumpers will help reduce rubbish?
A crackdown on Hamilton rubbish dumpers may be paying off after the city council more than quadrupled the number of infringement notices it issues annually.
The council trialled notices with a “don’t be a tosser” message a couple of years ago, in an attempt to prick people’s consciences, but they weren’t successful, so it has gone the other way and started taking a tougher line.
Do you think this will help stop illegal dumpers? Let us know your reason in the comments. (Please add NFP if you don't want your comments used in print.)
