WE AT GREY POWER ROTORUA ARE WRINGING, NOT RINGING OUR HANDS !
HELP US PUT OUR MAGAZINE THROUGH THE WRINGER !
Remember the old wringers that sat on the washing machine, and crushed your arm if it caught your fingertips ? Grey Power Rotorua needs at least one urgently. Our new magazine publishers do not have a folding service, so the idea is to fold and crush them with that old-fashioned mangle we all remember fondly ! We don't actually need a whole washing machine outfit, just the hand-cranked mangle type ... the graphics are for those who never have seen one ... but if we are offered the electrically run type with washing machine, we can do that.
We don't necessarily need to own it, and can buy and collect it if that is an option. Someone, somewhere must either have one, or know who does !
A Neighbourly Riddle! Don’t Overthink It… Or Do?😜

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
58.9% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.3% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.8% ... It is complicated
