Hi neighbours,
Rotorua's addiction to pokies is as bad as it's ever been with more then $21 million being pumped into machines last year.
We continued to rank third in New Zealand for the amount spent on pokies per person.

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!!
Vote now for your most deserving local community group or charity so they can be in to win 1 of 3 “Freezell” fridges, designed and personalised by Dick Frizzell.

You will find her artwork in the waiting lounge at the Faleolo Airport Apia as well as Enara Fashion Design Shop for all Polynesian wear and artworks. They are one of a kind...we have just moved into our first home and have received the final bill from the lawyers😱is my exact reaction. So, instead of feeling like this😩I have decided to be positive and part with these, find them a good home where others can enjoy them. While I try and pay the lawyers fees at the same time...so that we can actually live and enjoy our new home. If you are interested or know anyone who is, please contact me on 0211514424 or email louisa.westerlund@gmail.com. Your help would be much appreciated
