Come on down to the Demolition Art Exhibition in the old Presbyterian Support building at 44 Bealey Ave. Local volunteer artists have created unique art works inside the building (next to Knox Church).
Each artwork is inspired by Presbyterian Support social services, and our mission to support children, youth, families, and older people to become safe, strong, and connected.
This is a one-time opportunity to see and enjoy these special art works drawn for a good cause. With a fundraiser sausage sizzle and special “Monster” treasure hunt, it will be good fun for kids too. We hope to see you there!

Former model and fashion entrepreneur Judy Dodwell had just left New Zealand for a new life in Bahrain with her husband and two sons when she received a phone call she has never forgotten.
Her beautiful daughter had been tragically killed in a car accident near Queenstown.
The news shocked the family. Nicola, who excelled at school and was deputy head prefect, was travelling to Queenstown with a friend for a holiday job when the car spun out of control. Nicola was flung to her death on the roadside.
In a new country, in a new culture, Judy admits she did not cope with her loss. Paralysed with grief she found it impossible to complete even the smallest tasks. Her two sons needed their mother and parenting them both seemed to be all she could do.
Five years passed until one day she read in a magazine, "Success only comes by a change of attitude."
This sentence stayed in her mind, reminding her of previous success in life as an international model and the positive outlook she had at that time.
Judy determined to change her attitude, use her knowledge and skills and start her own modelling school, ignoring Bahrain's ban on expatriate women working.
After one year she was shut down. Judy would not close without a fight however so she appealed, was granted an audience with the highest government officials and finally her licence was granted by the king.
Judy's company Visual Image, Academy of Modelling expanded rapidly and before long Judy provided models for Formula 1 and Jewellery Arabia.
At the same time she amassed an exotic and amazing wardrobe of garments.
This spectacular Arabic fashion, which has been stored for over two decades, will be shown to the public for the first time this month at St Barnabas Church.
This is a first for the earthquake damaged newly restored and reopened church. Judy hopes to raise the final amount of money owing to pay for the earthquake repairs. She will install her cat walk down the centre isle and make use of the state of the art new sound system in the church.
All models are local and trained by Judy.

Yesterday my Mother-In-Law visited her Medical Centre in Nelson, as she was leaving she had a stroke. Her Daughter went back into the medical centre to get help and was told no one was available and to drive her Mother to the Hospital herself. Luckily Mum is OK but no thanks to her Doctor or anyone else at the medical centre. I am trying to find out which one it is.
Any information will be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
