MONTHLY FUNDRAISER CAFE and CAR BOOT SALE
Did you know that, even though the Monthly Garage Sale with the Big Difference closed after THIRTY YEARS, the MONTHLY CAR BOOT SALE is continuing - alongside a new community event, a MONTHLY FUNDRAISER CAFE? All funds raised go to Circuit International, a home-grown organisation helping the poor and disadvantaged in Myanmar and also sponsoring a girl in Ethiopia through TEAR Fund.
Both of these events are put on at Upper Hutt Baptist Church's Community Centre, corner Fergusson Drive and Milton Street. FIRST SATURDAY EVERY MONTH! Car boot sites $15 need to be booked at 528-3454.
The FUNDRAISER CAFE opens from 10am till midday serving a pot of tea or percolated coffee with a slice of home-made cake for only $4. Some months, there's even live music and we're hoping to have a HOME BAKING TABLE with items for sale. Pop in on SATURDAY 1 AUGUST and check us out!

EMPIRE BUILDING TRUMP
So Donald Trump does not want to start any wars and is a peace maker.
And yet he is seriously seeking to annex the world's largest island, Greenland from Denmark, take over the Panama Canal from the sovereign country of Panama who have owned it since 1977 and even forthrightly suggesting that Canada ceases being a nation and become a state or series of states of the USA.
Greenland above everything else, harbours minerals vital for todays and tomorrows world and that is what probably attracts Trump most. His son is looking things over in Greenland as this thread is being produced. Climate change is also changing Greenland which despite its name is currently mainly covered in ice and snow all year round. Greenland has a population of 55,000.
Panama's major asset after tourism and services is the canal with a current revenue of $5 billion. It operates its shipping charges through an international organisation so that the USA gets an unbias deal for its ships etc that use the canal. Panama is a poor country on the improve and has a population of 4.5 million.
Denmark is a member of NATO. But Trump has threatened many times for the USA to pull out of this Europe-USA defence alliance and Greenland may be the straw that finally breaks the pact.
Canada is surrounded by the USA but it is so much unlike the USA and much more akin to Australia and NZ. In contrast to the USA, Canada is one of the happiest countries in the world and in total land area is the world's second largest.
NZ is going to come under the scrutiny of Trump and his henchmen/women. He will probably look to cut NZ away from its free trade arrangements with China with some kind of ultimatum.
