Call to support raffle for Wellington Children’s Hospital.

Reporter Community News

A massive slab of Toblerone is up for grabs to encourage corporates to support a raffle for the Wellington Children’s Hospital.
Hutt City Rotary Club president Gaylene Hughes says the raffle has the support of all the regions Rotary clubs and she is hoping to sell 12,000 tickets by May.
With Covid-19 rampant it is a hard time to sell a raffle, which has a first prize of a 2022 Kia Picanto valued at $23,000.
She hopes that corporates will get on board by buying large blocks of the remaining tickets and the Toblerone is being offered as an incentive. Corporates who buy tickets will go into a draw for the chocolate.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
