For those less fortunate

With winter upon us and extremely cold nights, high electricity and petrol prices there a people out there who are suffering.

Be it the homeless or ordinary families hit by a rise in their mortgage then $1.40 a litre petrol prices.

As a basketball community why can't we give a can of food or a blanket or something to some of the deserving charities, Salvo's, Wesley Mission, Hutt Street Centre (who feed the homeless) are just a few I could name.

It would be great if our clubs could organise for even just their seniors to bring a can of food to their next training session. Or advertise it for an ABA game everyone bring along a can or jar of non perishable food. I'm positive the local charities would be willing to come along from each club and pick up the produce.

totally agree. how about it you basketball fans... how about next week's (June 17 & 18) ABA round, we make it a charity round... where we put in a donation of some non-perishable food for a worthwhile charity. I would be happy to help where possible, even though I am far from rich myself. Let's fill the stands everywhere, and help somebody who isn't as lucky as we are.

I agree. Bring a can and have a cook off at the dome.

Then again who will feed us? The working poor who earn "too much" and cannot get any Govt. assistance. Next time you go somewhere and they ask if you have a govt. concession or similar, say "No. I'm the working poor who actually has to pay full price everywhere".

Next time you rock up to a game darlings, ask for concession on the basis of a discriminated minrotiy group
