Peter from Waimauku

AUTUMN BOOK FAIR
29th/30th May 2021
Helensville War Memorial Hall


“The Biggest Book Fair in the West!”

The Lions Club of Helensville is holding their Autumn Book Fair on the last weekend of May in the Helensville War Memorial Hall. Starting at 9.00am on Saturday until 4.00pm and 10.00am on Sunday until 3.00pm.The Book Fair is being held in conjunction with the Kaipara Coastguard and all proceeds from the weekend will go towards funding for their proposed new Marine Rescue Centre at Springs Road, Parakai. The Christmas Book Fair, held in November, raised $13,245 and we aim to beat this for Coastguard Kaipara who perform voluntarily an essential service on our harbour, keeping boaties safe.

Books are priced to sell with nothing over $2, with a good selection of children’s books at 50c. Plus, there is also a good selection of jigsaw puzzles, board games, DVDs, CDs and quality magazines available.
Non-Fiction will be split into twenty separate categories, including one dedicated to New Zealand subjects and a large General Non-Fiction section to browse through.
Fiction is arranged alphabetically by authors, with six special interest groups, the largest of which is the Fantasy/Science Fiction section. There is also a tremendous number of children’s books for all ages.
Small donations of books can be left at Burmester Realty, Helensville or for larger lots, call Chris on 09 420 8527, or any other member of Helensville Lions.
Please note that the last date we are accepting books for this Book Fair is Friday 21st May.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
