Pyjama Donations
We now have more drop-off points for the 2019 Pyjamas Push.
Last year the Franklin community pulled together to donate dozens of pairs of pyjamas to kids identified by their schools as being in need.
CAN WE MANAGE IT AGAIN THIS YEAR?
Pyjamas can be left at these Pukekohe drop-off points: Pukekohe Anglican Church, 37 Queen St; TopNotch Engraving, 28 King St; Pukekohe Travel, 89 King St; Bedpost, 7 Wrightson Way; Trailer World Showroom, 123 Manukau Rd.
Working with Middlemore Foundation our goal is to get a new pair of pyjamas to each child before the cold weather arrives and colds and other winter ills increase.
For those who would like to make a donation so we can top up the sizes we need when we get close to our target, the bank account number is ASB 12-3023-0071016-00. Please reference this as 'pyjamas'. Pukekohe Community Action Charitable Trust and the Middlemore Foundation have approved this.

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?
