MenzshedHawera Meeting

Geoffrey Coubrough from Menzshed Hawera

To all members and interested persons.
There will be a meeting at the new MenzshedHawera shed at the A&P showgrounds Expo building on

Wednesday the 26th of February 2020 at 5.00pm

If you would like to join this organisation, the sub is $50 per calendar year. Due now.
The aim of a Menzshed is to foster a place where men and women of all ages can socialise, impart their gained knowledge and maybe learn a thing or two along the way.
We will be looking to provide the occasional hot roast meal to members, from the kitchen on the premises, as time permits.
At this early stage we are looking to raise money through subs to buy timber for workbenches and rent.
If you are keen to partake in this worthy cause, please subscribe at the meeting.
We already have some machinery, kindly donated by various people and organisations.
Come and have a look.
Thank You
Geoff Coubrough (Chairperson)

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?
