Do You Have Two hours to Spare for a Fantastic Cause?
Hi there
It is only two weeks before this important collection – 2019 Pink Ribbon Breast Cancel Appeal – Friday 11 and Saturday 12 October.
Thanks to everyone who has volunteered so far – 82 of you filling 102 slots – a number of you doing more than one session 😊 😊 which is fantastic! Four more people have volunteered since I posted this - only need another 55!
I do more than 100 hours organising the Hastings area (my choice - a comment – not a complaint). Could you give two hours?
If you are able to, you could sign up at www.pinkribbonappeal.co.nz... or text, phone or PM me and I will find you a slot - Friday 11 and/or Saturday 12 October. If you aren't in Hawke's Bay, and wish to help, the web site would probably be your best option - or else the hot line - 0508105105.
If you are not able to assist, and that is understandable, we all lead quite busy lives – perhaps you know of a friend or family member who could stand up in your place. If you are looking after children that weekend, bring them along – it is a great way to teach them about volunteering and community.
If you have any questions or ideas, feel free to call or PM me.
Ciao for now

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
32.1% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
67.9% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
ORGAN RECITAL
