Greyhound fashion fundraiser for Greyhounds as Pets charity

Kat from Waimairi Beach

This is a fundraiser for Greyhounds as Pets. Join us for an afternoon of greyhound fashion including a prize draw and silent auction. Greyhounds have thin skin and a single layer of fur. They need clothing. Adopted greyhounds will be strutting the catwalk to model the functional and fashionable clothes that their families have chosen for them.

Advance purchase $15 for adults and $10 for children under 13. (At the door, prices will be $20 and $15). Each entry receives one ticket for the prize draw; additional raffle tickets can be purchased at the venue. Silent auction items will be available for a minimum bid of $50.

The Sixty6 is the nightclub venue attached to the Christchurch Casino. This event is wheelchair accessible - just go into the main entrance of the casino and ask the staff to use the elevator.

***Only the greyhound models are allowed into the venue; please come, but leave your dog at home***

This fundraiser is being organised by Kathleen Crisley from The Balanced Dog, who provides care for dogs using massage, acupressure, laser, trigger point and food therapies.

Tickets for the event can be purchased here: www.balanceddog.co.nz...

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑

Robots are stepping into repetitive roles in factories, plants and warehouses. AI is taking care of the admin tasks that once filled many mid-level office jobs.
