The Pink Walk Taupō Postponed for 2021
With the uncertainties around COVID levels at the moment and what restrictions mean for different events, This is ME have made the decision to postpone the Pink Walk for 2021. We are working to find another date in the new year so that everyone gets the chance to experience the amazing event that was planned for such a worthy cause.
You can still contribute to our fundraising page for the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ by using the link to donate.
A huge thank you from us to those involved in organising the walk, as well as the sponsors and vendors.
We can't wait to see you all next year to bring the laughter, fun and pink to Taupō in support of those who need it most.
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?
-
60.1% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated
Wild weather in the Waikato
The Waikato really copped it over the weekend, with wild weather leaving a hefty clean-up bill that may run into the millions.
While things are looking calmer in the days ahead, there are still plenty of slips and flooded roads across the district — so if you’re heading out, take it easy and stay alert.
We want to know: How did you and your whānau get on over the weekend?
