Don’t waste money on furniture, if you don't have it to waste
Buying furniture is a large initial investment. If you’re living paycheck-to-paycheck, and you don’t have the upfront capital to invest in good furniture, then renting is a great option.
When you rent furniture, you get to choose from quality furnishings that you may not want to spend money purchasing, but they’re affordable as monthly rentals.
Solve your appliance and furniture woes by renting just what you need, for as long as you need it. Call Mr Rental on 06-878 5770 or visit our website www.mrrental.co.nz... for more information.

Knowledge Bank
The Volunteers of Hawke’s Bay Knowledge Bank would like to reassure the public that despite recent publicity, we are still fully operating as usual.
We are continuing to receive large and small collections from many different people, groups and organisations, enabling us to digitise them with upgraded and more efficient equipment. Please keep the collections coming. We are always grateful to receive them on loan, then
upon completion all items will be returned to you.
Our digital archives are large and of significant importance to the region. Our operations are fully funded and we are currently taking on additional work, such as recording as much as possible of the Cyclone Gabrielle event – photos, stories, documents etc. In a funded joint project, Radio Hawke’s Bay will also be recording verbal information. This will be a long-term undertaking as we expect a lot more information will come over the next few years.
Our volunteers continue to increase their skills, and we are in the process of expanding our valuable operations to other areas, being Central Hawke’s Bay, Taradale and Wairoa.
Please contact us if you would like to be involved in this very worthy enterprise – we have plenty of spaces for additional volunteers. Bring your own skills or learn new skills, and join us in completing our many and varied projects. Digital, transcribing, proofreading or online
research skills will enable more projects to be undertaken. In fact, we would be happy to double our current volunteer base of around 80 people, including distance volunteers, as we have much to do. The flexibility to spend as much, or as little, time as suits you (on-site or
off-site) is a great advantage.
So, if you too, fancy a well-organised community operation that will increase your current skills and teach you new skills, whilst achieving valuable and meaningful work in the company of others or from a distance, then call Linda today, 06 833-5333.
Thank you from the Volunteers of Knowledge Bank, located in Stoneycroft, Omahu Road,
Hastings.
