The Te Kowhai Variety Concert - March 2018

The Editor from Te Kowhai Newsletter

This is a call for the adults in our community to come and share your talents at an entertaining fundraising variety event with proceeds going to our local community projects.

Local organiser Suzy is looking to bring together an entertaining line up of acts to perform at the event and will be holding auditions between now and December.

Locals, past and present (or anyone who has an affiliation with Te Kowhai and surrounding area) are welcome to audition.

“Talent comes in many different forms, says Suzy. “So I’m hoping to hear from dancers, singers, musicians and entertainers, either as individuals or in groups.”

If you’re interested in hearing more contact Suzy before the end of November so planning for this exciting event can get underway.

The Show is tentatively scheduled for March 2018. To be confirmed – watch this space.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
