President Cheryl's Message
 
 
Hi everyone
 
What a great service the Budget Advisory team provide to people in need of financial advice and assistance. Even a little bit of guidance, for some individuals and families, has the potential to make a significant difference in their lives. Well done to Sheree and her staff and volunteers for the work you do.
 
Next week Hami from the Te Aitarakihi Multicultural Centre will be briefing us on the services they provide in the community. We have delivered apples for their food boxes and firewood for their whanau both of which were gratefully received.
 
Yours aye
Cheryl

A Tree Planting Opportunity
 
There is an opportunity to help and plant trees with Phil Brownie from Opihi Environmental Services (guest speaker a few weeks back) here is a copy of the call out for volunteers: 
 
"Our plan for this season is to spread the planting over a few months at a leisurely pace beginning with the Walnut Orchard block first (nice and close to the carpark) before we head on down the gully to plant out a steep block, high on the west side called Matts Paddock.  If you are interested in joining us, we will begin next Wednesday 5th October and plant, through to Saturday afternoon.  We would truly appreciate the help and value your support. Look out for more posts around future planting days and Barb's barbeque Fridays. 
Nga mihi
Phil"
 
I plan on going out Saturday to help, if anyone is interested in also attending Saturday or can do it through the week, please let me know (on 021 886 812 or click here to email).
 
Cheers
Jess

Apple Jelly & Apple Toffee
 
 
There are still a lot of jars of Apple Jelly and Apple Toffee available.
All you have to do is email (by clicking here..) or call me (027 540 3141) and I will bring some into our meeting for you.
So far we’ve raised $100 from their sale. And if you’ve emptied the jar, then that’s a definite reason to get another.
 
Regards
Cheryl

Editors Humour.
 
There were only two people in line ahead of me at the electronics store, yet the wait was dragging on forever.
Finally, the customer behind me muttered, "Mr Hare must be on vacation."
Only then did I notice the name tag on the man at the register. It read: "Mr. Turtle, sales associate."

When the heat pump broke down, June called for a serviceman to come and take a look at it. It turned out to be a high school classmate of her husband's named Love. He said next time she needed any repairs to ask for him. The next year when it needed a service again, June requested Mr Love and took the day off from work and waited for him to arrive. After he had worked on the heat pump, he left his work order behind. It had June's name and said: "Wants Love in the afternoon."

As a freelance secretary, Bernice typed story manuscripts. When an author paid her she printed the name of the story across the top of his cheque. Once when she took a cheque to the bank, the teller suddenly froze. Only after she had explained her procedure to a bank officer did the reason for the teller's reaction become clear. The story was called "Your Money or Your Life," and that, of course, was what she had written in bold letters across the top of the cheque.

When Matt was a rookie police officer, he was flustered by citizens who got upset if he gave them a traffic ticket. They would accuse him of trying to complete his quota for the month. Then a veteran officer gave him some useful advice. The next motorist Matt stopped sarcastically commented, "I guess this will help you reach your quota." he smiled and, repeating his mentor's words, replied, "No, sir, they took our quota away. Now we can write as many as we want."
