KidsCan Fundraising Garden Party on 18 March needs support
The KidsCan Garden Party fundraiser needs support with people attending it but also we really would love some donations in these ways * new items for a raffle basket
* pickles, jams, preserves to sell
* ingredients to make sandwiches to sell on the day
* another group or 2 of children to perform (cultural, dance, music but able to be performed outside in the garden)
* another stall or 2 preferably selling crafts, arts, plants or similar
All funds will be going straight to KidsCan www.kidscan.org.nz...

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?
