Linda from Blenheim

In near new condition, this Samsung Fridge/Freezer won't disappoint. Purchased new seven years ago and only used as a second fridge, original manuals included. The condition is almost perfect and a fraction of the cost of a new one. $250.00. Phone 0210327732.

You can use the fridge in two ways.
1 - As a library. Borrow a book, return it when you are done, and choose another one.
2 - As a book swap. Drop off the book/s you've read so someone else can enjoy them, and swap them for new ones to take home.

Seddon Community and Neighbourhood Support Group
Seddon is our small rural township located to the south of Blenheim on SH1. Rocked and devastated (again) by the quakes in November 2016. With the loss of access to Christchurch via the Main North Line, and SH 1, we are at the “end of the line”. Every one of our self employed residents has taken a huge hit, many of whom can no longer support themselves especially with the removal of all emergency funding as of the 14th February. we are hoping to be able to provide to the whole community, access to essential first aid kits at reasonable and affordable costs to all the residents. It is for this initiative we are seeking some funding in order to subsidise these kits. VOTE NOW!!
