Garage sale

Kayla from Frankton

Thank you to everyone who supported Allaie with donations and also attending her garage sale.
We appreciate all the help.
Allaie is the one on the left ❤️
Because of the communities willingness and support
Allaie is able to pay her camp fees and get her passport
without a community like this and a church family and godly lifestyle we surrounded ourselves with 4.5 years ago this would not be an opportunity for Allaie.
4.5 years ago I was a drug addict, alcoholic, addicted to cigarettes, domestic violence victim, babysitting kind of parent this was allaies lifestyle she was brought up in..Until 4.5 years ago..
Now I no longer do any of these things, delivered from my addictions and habits, no longer a victim of domestic violence. I am into my children and their futures. Allaie also has mild spinal Bifida so the fact that people supported her makes this a very big thing for her. A reference point she will remember for the rest of her life.

Thank you again neighbours

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”

Poll: When do you shop the sales?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Bargain hunters made the most of Boxing Day sales at Centre Place and The Base in Hamilton on Friday.

However, a marketing expert believes Boxing Day sales, long a staple of Kiwi life post-Christmas, is on the outer as Black Friday becomes more popular.

When do you shop the sales? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
