TALK BY AUTHOR PAT BACKLEY
11 AM on FRIDAY 23RD AUGUST

On Friday 23rd August Pat Backley, an author born in England but now happily based in Orewa will talk about her life and books at the Silverdale Pioneer Village. Join us for tea/coffee in the Parsonage at 10.30 before Pat’s Talk in the Chapel.
Open to the Public/All Welcome,
Entry by Donation.

She is passionate about people and has traveled the world, she spent 70 years living a colorful and interesting life, and her books reflect these passions.

She has always been fascinated by social history and the lives of ordinary people and believes their stories should be told. “It is a way of honoring my ancestors. They have no voice, so I will make sure their stories are heard.”

Pat Backley has published 8 books, including historical fiction, memoirs, travel, ancestry, and one little self-help book! She also contributes short stories to anthologies and articles to magazines, has co-hosted a virtual book fair, and talks in schools as a volunteer for Inspiring the Future Aotearoa.

Speed Friending Event, Sat 21st Feb 7pm, Dairy Flat Community Hall

Michelle from Waitoki

Are you wanting to expand your social network, perhaps find a new bestie, or are you new to the area and wanting to find a new friend group?

Speed friending allows you to connect with others, having a full five minutes with each person you get paired with, and later if you both wish to connect, we’ll facilitate that by email. We will provide prompt questions to ensure you won’t be stuck for conversation. It is most definitely NOT a dating event and is aimed at the 40+ age group.

For those who are a little nervous you’ll be greeted at the door and shown through to the bar area - our aim is to keep any pre-event jitters to a minimum. Please bring cash as there is no EFTPOS available.

This is a limited number event so please email fastfriendsnz@gmail.com to register your interest or ask any questions you may have.

All proceeds go to the Dairy Flat Community Hall.

We hope to see you there.

PSYCHIC AND MEDIUMSHIP READINGS.

Howard from Orewa

HI EVERYONE❗
Would you like to know what the future has in store for you ? A new romance perhaps ? Moving house ? Different job ? Would you like to receive a message from a loved one who has passed ?
Interested ? Then come along to our next meeting, this Wednesday, February 11th, 7:30pm start, in The Theosophical Society Hall, 9e, Annalise Place, off Forest Glen, off Puriri Avenue, Orewa. There is a car park next to the hall. We finish around 9pm.
We are "The Hibiscus Spiritual Awakening and Healing Centre", a non-profit organisation run by friendly volunteers, and we ask for only $5 each please. Meetings are held fortnightly, with a different medium each time. It's always nice to see that people new to us are often chosen for a reading on their first visit.
In a warm, pleasant relaxing atmosphere, people receive amazing, enlightening, and very comforting messages, as well as good advice. Often, the medium will provide evidence by giving small details that the medium could not possibly have known.
Look us up on Facebook. Satisfy your curiosity by coming along and checking us out. It will be a revelation !
And, whether you are young, or not so young,
ALL ARE WELCOME❗
