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: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? πŸ›»πŸš¨πŸš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

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?

Lawn mowing

Michael from Blade

Hi Everyone

I have availability on my lawn mowing run at the moment, for regular cutting, in the Napier area. My customers include residential and commercial properties and they are happy with the service I provide. Autumn is also a great time to get your lawn sorted, if you need some help. I have also had customers in the past, that were selling their property and needed it tidied and maintained, while on the market.

So if you are interested or need a quote, or know someone that needs help with their lawns? Please contact me.
You can reach me at 027 3731310 or Bradley.mw@gmail.com

Have a great day!
Michael from Blade Lawns.
