Mitre 10 Megawalk 2018 raising funds for Canteen
It is time again to get involved with the Mitre 10 Megawalk raising funds for Canteen. This event is such a great day for everyone of all abilities.
I desparately need volunteers to help marshal this event.
2 hours (some places are even less than two hours) of your time would be such a big help for such a great cause. The event is on:
SUNDAY 4 NOVEMBER
and posiitons are required to be filled in both Hastings and Napier. It is all over by 1pm but you will not be required for longer than 2 hours I will organise a roster to share the workload.
If you can help please text me on 0274170671 or email me at jcooper@outlook.co.nz or if you are unavailable even sharing this post would be a great help.
Thanks Heaps

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.7% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
