Kiwanis - Morrinsville - Want to give something back to your community but not sure how?

Jenna from Morrinsville

You have probably never heard of us, even though we've been around for 100 years.

We're a charitable organisation that isn't centered around politics, religion, and is focused solely upon evaluating both children’s issues and community needs on an on-going basis; conducting service projects to respond to those identified needs specific to that community.

We're called Kiwanis which actually has nothing to do with 'Kiwi' or New Zealand. www.kiwanis.org...

Kiwanis is an International charity and the word is actually an American Indian expression meaning 'We Trade' or 'We Build' with the motto of the organisation being 'Serving the children of the World'

Anyway - that's all a bit full on, if you would like to join a group of like minded people of varying ages, professions, backgrounds and skills who are focussed on helping out, and having fun while doing it - then get in touch.

From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.

He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”

Poll: When do you shop the sales?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Bargain hunters made the most of Boxing Day sales at Centre Place and The Base in Hamilton on Friday.

However, a marketing expert believes Boxing Day sales, long a staple of Kiwi life post-Christmas, is on the outer as Black Friday becomes more popular.

When do you shop the sales? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
