Handbag fundraiser

The Team from Red Cross - Hastings Service Centre

During the month of September the Walkie Talkies took part in Red Cross Journey, a fundraiser for New Zealand Red Cross where they walked 10,000 steps a day whilst fundraising. For their final fundraising activity they have two great handbag auctions, the prizes are gorgeous bags from AA & Kho.

Tickets are $10 each and you can purchase a ticket by emailing amber.mcarthur@redcross.org.nz. The draw will be made on Monday 7th October and all payments must be made by this time.

Monday is the last day to submit the money that they have raised so if you would like to purchase a ticket please contact Amber by Sunday night.

If you would like to support their fundraising you can also make a donation on line direct to their page... www.redcrossjourney.org.nz...

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
