Charity Shoe Drive and Sale!
On Tuesday 25 April (Anzac Day) Greenstone Doors Charitable Trust are holding a Shoe Sale at the St Peter and Paul's Church Hall at 60 Knights Road Lower Hutt from 1pm-4pm. We already have many dozens of brand new shoes donated by local and online shoe shops but we are asking the public to donate their shoes that are surplus to their requirements and in as new or good condition to our sale. This is a fundraiser for Greenstone Doors Charitable Trust www.greenstonedoors.co.nz.......... It also serves as an opportunity for families to get good quality shoes for their family at a very reasonable price. Shoes of all sizes and styles accepted (and also handbags and belts etc). They can be dropped off to the front porch of 23 Burnside Street Waterloo OR to St Peter and Paul's Church at 60 Knights Road (if open) OR you can call Monica on 021 2991138 to have any saleable shoes collected. Thanks to all those who have already donated shoes to this project!
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?

scumbags
There are some really awful people around at the moment. This is what happened on Sunday.
We live in Hinemoa Street opposite the Waiwhetu Stream. At around 3.40 in the afternoon I was looking out my window and saw a car pull up and start to feed the geese and ducks out the window. Then The passenger an asian man jumped out and threw himself onto a goose. he picked it up and put it the boot of the car.
I immediately ran over and stood in front of his car to stop him moving I also called my husband to help. A lovely man was riding his bike and saw it and stopped to help me. The driver tried to drive into me but I didnt move. He tried telling us it was his pet. These are wild geese.
They had a cage in the boot and some wire all ready to catch the poor bird like they have done it before. My husband took the bird from the car and released it. I then moved out of the way and after lots of abuse from the driver they drove off threatening to come back and get more.
No one should be allowed to take these beautiful birds and certainly not like this. they are all starting to have wee babies at the moment the whole thing was so upsetting to me. Another neighbour further down the road also saw it all happen.
Please keep a look out for this car and if you see them by the stream go over and watch them lets all stop this happening.
