Reminiscence - Charity Concert in aid of Ukraine - this Saturday
Hi Neighbours
You are warmly invited to a charity concert in aid of Ukraine this Saturday 10 December at 7.30pm at The Community of St Luke, 130 Remuera Road.
Music composed and performed by Global Music Award winner Sergiy Klymchuk.
Originally from Odessa, Ukraine, Sergiy has been living in New Zealand since 1996. He is Associate Professor of Mathematics at Auckland University of Technology. Sergiy has been composing music for many years, but it has been reserved for his family and close friends. With their encouragement he finally decided to get his music professionally arranged and published. Sergiy’s first CD album of original light instrumental music was released in August this year.
Five tracks from the album received awards at the 2022 Global Music Awards Competition (January and July Rounds) in the “Composer” category – three silver and two bronze medals: www.globalmusicawards.com......
The genres of Sergiy’s music are very diverse – from relaxing themes to dynamic jazz with love songs in between. His inspiration comes from the beauty of nature, touching relationships, morning dreams and, surprisingly, in some cases, from the energy of a hard day at work.
Sergiy is a member of the Composers Association of New Zealand and Screen Music & Sound Guild of New Zealand.
After the concert, signed copies of the limited edition of Sergiy’s CD are available for sale. All proceeds from CD sales and all donations will go to the Red Cross Ukrainian Appeal. Suggested donation: $20

Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
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?
-
60.8% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
23.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.7% ... It is complicated
