Sending Love - Christmas cards for those who are alone at Christmas

Grey Power Rotorua

Sending Love (see their website and Facebook page) is again coordinating the collecting, messaging and delivery of Christmas cards to residents of rest homes. Grey Power Rotorua is hosting one of their dropboxes, at our office, which collects donations of cards - both commercial and home made - for this initiative, to be delivered in Rotorua.

We can accept donations of cards until December 8th, AND are hosting 2 sessions for writing personal messages into the cards donated:

Thursday 6th December 10am to 2pm at the Age Concern rooms at 1333 Eruera St (behind Spotlight at the lower end of Eruera St towards Kmart), and
Friday 7th December 10am - 2pm at our own building, right behind Age Concern, also 1333 Eruera St.

We have cards and pens, and 60 suggested greetings in case you are a bit stumped ... come along and help send the love !!

Poll: Should drivers retake the theory test every 10 years?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Drivers get where they need to go, but sometimes it seems that we are all abiding by different road rules (for example, the varying ways drivers indicate around a roundabout).
Do you think drivers should be required to take a quick driving theory test every 10 years?

Vote in the poll and share any road rules that you've seen bent! 😱

Poll: Is it rude to take a full trolley to self-checkout?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Luckily self-checkout is pretty common in supermarkets these days and we generally use it to quickly buy a few things without the long lines. But perhaps it's appropriate to head there with your full trolley to skip the lines?

What are your thoughts? Is that rude?

Share in the comments below if this has ever happened to you.
