Books & DVD's from Trudi
Hi Booklovers! Just a quick note to confirm that the promised 1200 DVDs arrived from Tauranga on Tuesday. I've found another ten boxes from home too. I have also located a bag full of Bollywood DVDs if that is your interest. All the recent arrivals are up on the stage.
Don't forget to look at the small $1 books in the mauve boxes. They also sell at 10 for $5. There's lots of good reading there.
For the lady at Eureka who wanted Thomas Harris' Red Dragon – I now have two copies!
I'm not having any problems with Covid requirements. All my visitors are either signing in or using the App. All are wearing masks and I can't afford staff to request vaccination certificates. People are maintaining social distancing which is really appreciated. We now have to live with Covid but this new Omicron variant means we should all do our best to keep ourselves safe.
I wish you all a very happy and safe Christmas.
Trudi

Craigs Workplace Giving for Christmas in Waikato focused on front line
It has been a delight for us to again coordinate the annual Christmas-time Workplace Giving by Craigs Investment Partners' Hamilton branch.
We've now passed on $13,100 in grants of various sizes from Craigs and its staff to the five Waikato community organisations they have chosen this year, namely Cambridge Lifeskills, Cambridge Tree Trust, Hamilton Land Search & Rescue, Paws 4 Life (who provided the photo below) and Waikato Women's Refuge - Te Whakaruruhau.
Quinton de Bruin, Investment Adviser at Craigs says: “We’re really proud of our Workplace Giving program here at Craigs.”
“Employees opt in to donate from their monthly pay cheque, building up funds over the year which we then donate to charities in need at Christmas time.
“Craigs also matches employee donations dollar for dollar, up to $500 per person per annum, so it’s a great way to be able to make a meaningful impact in our local community,” says Quinton.
We say well played Craigs Investment Partners!
Poll: Would you ever buy a total doer upper?
Housing stock is starting to move on the Coromandel Peninsula, including a dilapidated place one block back from Whitianga's Buffalo Beach that sold to a Hamilton bargain hunter for $500,000.
Real estate companies are starting to see more deals go, however, prices have stabilised with high supply levels still outstripping demand.
Would you ever buy a total doer upper? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
