IRD is warning of a new scam that asking customers for credit card details. IRD has received a significant number of report about the email.

It is a very good copy of a legitimate IR email. It can be detected by the following:
- The From Field does not end in ird.govt.nz
- Hovering the cursor over the weblink does not point to an IRD.GOVT.NZ website.
- Do not click as these are not from IRD. We will never advise you that you are due a tax refund through email.

Anyone who receives an email from the IRD, or someone claiming to be the IRD should get in contact with them.

I am very upset the the Christchurch Council are to give ten million dollars of rate payers (our) money to help restore the Christchurch Cathedral. In this age of user pays why should this happen? How can this happen?

What would ten million dollars do for the homeless, the sick or the elderly? What would it do to help those still suffering the effects of earthquakes both physical and mental? This is insane!

At a time when all our social services are woefully under funded how can it be right to waste so much public money on this crazyness. What would Jesus say and do? Even the most pious know the answer to that one.

This is not about religion or the belief system, I do not want to get into that long winded and unprovable argument, this is about doing the right thing with public money by the people that need it.

It is simply a case of needs versus wants, no more, no less.

The rate payers are not a bottomless pit of cash for churches, statues or new cars for council staff. Next time you are in town go into the West End car park, lift to the top floor and take a look at the amount of nice shiny vehicles that are lined up with the council logo on them...it is astounding.

I for one will not be paying any part of my rates to support this self indulgent project, anyone else feel the same way?

Hello to our lovely community of supporters.


Hopefully you all know about Webfair that Cat Rescue is currently using as a form of fundraising. People list items on the site and choose a charity to receive the money once sold.


This site was set up by an amazing family in Christchurch who wanted to reduce waste in landfills by people chucking away good items and also to help people raise monies for worthy causes.


We have raised over $2600 over many auctions with items donated by our supporters. This is not to be sneezed at as we are always looking to raise funds to pay our large vet bills.


We have large vet bills due to being a 'no kill' charity. If an animal is in pain then we will help it, regardless of its social status or breed.
Please see the photo's below of some of our rescued kittens during the past couple of years and then some photo's of kittens that have been fostered in loving homes and then adopted to a forever home. This is what Cat Rescue Christchurch does. Rescues, heals and loves.!!!!

We currently only have 25 items listed on our webfair this month, which is the lowest ever.


I am wondering if everyone could look into their cupboards and draws and find ONE item to post on Webfair this month. We have over 200 members on this site and even if 20 members posted on item and it sold, then it all helps. There are 10 fab charities on the site this month and hence a lot of people looking through all items so the audience is growing.


Also if there are any business out there that would like to donate an item over $50 you can get 4 weeks free advertising on the site. Win win scenario courtesy of webfair. Just email Donna@webfair.co.nz or Kelsey@webfair.co.nz and they can work out the details.
.
It is easy to load the webfair app on your phone, as it means you can take an instant photo and upload the item as a gift on the site very easily (easy than loading to trade me).


If you have any problems with logging on initially, first check your junk mail or email donna@webfair.co.nz and she will fix the issue. She has been great to our charity which I totally appreciate.


Psss if your item does not sell this month, then you can easily 'Relist" next month. It is as simple as a couple of processes as it retains all your previous information about the items posted but unsold..


Thank you in appreciation of your help.


Please share this post with other crazy cat people. We are a passionate bunch of people so I sure it will make a difference.
If you have any questions please ask.
