My Kind Neighbour nomination
On last Friday 11 / 10/ 2019 afternoon i went round to the school in Mountview Road thinking that would be the place to drop our local election votes. How ever it were not so i went in to the H.C.C. parking building to take our votes to drop in at the Council Office. Found where my car was parked in an almost full car park.Took my specks out of my top shirt pocket to get my parking ticket out where i always put them ".O" dear could not find it must have lost it in the Council building what am i going to do now,Need to find a parking attendent. No luck.Went to the ticket machine and standing there thinking to my self what can i do here .A very nice lady must have been between in her late 30's to early 40's She said can i help you ? Yes please and told her i must have lost my parking ticket in the Council Office. Don't worry let's see what we can do. She brought up the lost ticket notice fee of $ 20 .Said to me you are not going to pay that. Why not? just you leave it to me she inserted her credit card in to the machine and gave me a ticket to be able to get out of the parking building .Said to her how much did it cost.? Don't you worry about that i have sorted it all out Would not want to take any monery off me only cash i had on me were a 5 dollar note which she did not want to take off me but i insisted . Thanked her very much indeed both went back to our cars and waved to each other, When i inserted my card she gave me it only cost $ 4 , I went home just kicking my self about the loose of my ticket and thinking of such a perfect stranger who came to my rescue bless her . ( I Did not ask her name ) If the Lady is on Neighbourly she is going to have as good laugh , When i were taking my pullover off at home my first ticket fell on the floor. time 15:41:49 will keep it to remind me not that i would ever forget such a lovely Lady stranger who came to my rescue . Kind Regards. Alan.F.

We need volunteers who can sew, and volunteers who can help sort, measure, and pack orders. The curtain bank is open Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday morning from 9am to 12pm.

Do you think the city needs more affordable housing projects?
An affordable rental development has been left scrambling to secure funding after it was unexpectly turned down by central government.
Bridge Housing Trust plans to build a 42 apartment complex on the corner of Tristram and Liverpool Streets in Hamilton central over two buildings. The land is being donated by Perry Group, which currently owns both sites.
You can help grow the Waikato Community Rugby Fund
Waikato Rugby celebrated 100 years of service to the community in 2021, but due to the pandemic the long-planned celebrations were not held until late 2022.
A highlight was a black-tie event at GloBox Arena at Claudelands where over 300 people enjoyed a wonderful night of reminiscence, remembrance, reconnection and reflection on what our national game means to the Waikato.
Many people put a lot of work into making the evening a massive success by all sorts of measures. One was fundraising $21,000 for the good of the game through auctions and donations, which has recently been transferred to the Waikato Community Rugby Fund at Momentum Waikato.
The Fund grows in perpetuity, with distributed returns only used for the benefit of the amateur community rugby, forever.
Donations to the Waikato Community Rugby Fund are always most welcome, to find out more and donate click the button below.
