Hi Everyone - the Auckland Family History Expo is going to be held again on the Saturday 8th and Sunday 9th of August 2020.
It will still be at the Fickling Centre, Mt. Roskill (across from Three Kings School) and will be slightly different this year due to COVID. Saturday 9:00 to 6:00 and Sunday 9:00 to 5:00.
Our overseas speakers will not be there in person but will be via a Zoom meeting, therefore you can see the presentation and also ask questions.
Other speakers from NZ will be attending and for a full programme please look up Events on the Auckland Public LIbrary website.
Otherwise the show will be as usual with interesting talks, presentations and a hall full of exhibitors with their new wares etc.
So come along and join in the fun ITS FREE!

Denim, but make it one-of-a-kind 💙
Not every pair of jeans makes it to the rack... but that doesn’t mean their story ends there. Our talented volunteer Annie has been transforming damaged denim into handcrafted bags, hats and aprons in our Onehunga SPCA Op Shop ✂️🧵
This latest batch even features her own hand-sewn designs, and customers have been loving them, they sell almost as soon as they hit the shelf!
It’s creativity, sustainability and community all stitched together, helping animals in need 🐾
📍 217 Onehunga Mall, Onehunga
🕘 9am–5pm, 7 days
Step by step for a great cause!
Our amazing Hillary Hikers from Edmund Hillary Village showed their support for Bowel Cancer New Zealand's Move Your Butt campaign this month!
Sporting the bright purple and orange campaign shirts, these wonderful walkers hit the Auckland waterfront and marched from Mission Bay to Kohimarama, raising awareness for bowel cancer and the importance of early detection along the way.
