Garage or Hall Needed for February Garage Sales
MMMT has been gifted a container load of stuff to sell! We would like to hold two garage sales in February to coincide with the student flat influx. Do have a space we can use? It would need to be in Hamilton, be close to or visible from the road (ie not down an alleyway and have plenty of nearby parking. On the Friday we would lay sheets over nay of your articles left in the garage, bring and lay out boxes and tables. On the Saturday and Sunday we would man the garage from 5.30-3.00pm. On the Sunday afternoon and Monday morning we would re-pack and remove all boxes and tables. If you can let us use such a space, you would be helping us pay the Registered Music Therapists who work with patients in the residential dementia care facilities we serve. For details of our work, see out website, Facebook page or the attached copy of our latest newsletter. If you can help, phone Kath: 021 08187218.

Poll: Would you help your kids out with buying a home?
OPINION: Over the past year, I’ve had the same conversation with many Waikato families again and again.
A child has found a house. The market feels like it’s moving. There’s pressure to act quickly. And before anyone has really had time to think it through, parents are being asked to step in with cash, guarantees, or equity from their own home.
Would you help your kids out with buying a home? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
