Handbag fundraiser
During the month of September the Walkie Talkies took part in Red Cross Journey, a fundraiser for New Zealand Red Cross where they walked 10,000 steps a day whilst fundraising. For their final fundraising activity they have two great handbag auctions, the prizes are gorgeous bags from AA & Kho.
Tickets are $10 each and you can purchase a ticket by emailing amber.mcarthur@redcross.org.nz. The draw will be made on Monday 7th October and all payments must be made by this time.
Monday is the last day to submit the money that they have raised so if you would like to purchase a ticket please contact Amber by Sunday night.

As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
