WANTED -Preserving jar lids and seals

Wairarapa Community Centre Trust from Wairarapa Community Centre

The Community Kitchen each week cooks and donates free meals to families in crisis (within the Wairarapa).
We will be receiving a bulk load of tomatoes next week and a large group of volunteers will be turning this into passata sauce as a base for future cooking sessions.
Recently local charity shops kindly donated preserving jars for this project but we now required screw lids and seals.
If you have any to spare and are happy to donate these, they will be gratefully received. Ring Bev 063771022/0272703366 for further information or pickup.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?
