CAN YOU HELP - WE ARE NEEDING WOOL?

Pat from Melville

CAN YOU HELP!!!
We are a group of ladies who knit and crochet blankets, jumpers, hats, scarves and mittens/gloves for people in Eastern Europe who live under war conditions. Our work goes to Romania (the poorest country in Eastern Europe), Moldova and the Ukraine to help those who are in desperate need.
If you have any left-over wool that is surplus to your requirements, we would love to have it as we can make use of it - even small quantities are useful – we don’t waste anything.!!
If you can help, please call me (Pat) and I will arrange to collect it. My number is 021-057-0371.

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.

But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.

Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
