Karori Lions "Givealittle" appeal supporting the Children's Hospital Playscape
Many of you will be aware that Karori Lions are currently working hard, along with other Lions in our part of the country, to raise $500,000 to create "Playscape" - an outdoor facility at the new Children's Hospital which will provide a wide range of therapeutic, rehabilitative, and developmental benefits to all young patients, such as, increasing physical activity, assisting with both fine and gross motor skills, and cognitive development.
We are now approaching our target, but still need to raise about $50,000, so we've set up a Givealittle appeal page to help with this final push. Please visit the page and support the children of the Wellington Region and others who may be referred here, and pass on the link to all your friends.
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.

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?
