2018 Cystic Fibrosis Casino Night Fundraiser
The 2018 Cystic Fibrosis Casino Night is on. We'll be offering up the best gambling establishment in town with the friendliest dealers around. We will turn the venue into a place to eat, drink and gamble.
Tickets for this event are limited so tell your friends and please buy early.
You will enjoy nibbles and drinks all evening while you gamble irresponsibly and bid on fantastic gifts/prizes. At 10 pm we'll close the casino and start our live auction led by John Kingston. There will be a silent auction running throughout the evening.
Ticket Price includes entry to the party, auction catalogue, nibbles throughout the night, 5 drinks (beer, wine or soft drinks) and gambling loot. If you run out of drinks or gambling money, additional can be purchased on site.
We’re back for our 5th year to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis New Zealand - Hawke's Bay Branch. It will be another fun night of gambling, partying and bidding for great auction items. It should be the best year yet and our theme this year is black & white. Use your imagination and come dressed to the theme.
Worried about what to wear? The Tabard Costume Hire (Napier Operatic Society) have generously offered a great rate for any costume hired for this event. A $35 per person rate for costume and accessories. Just go into the shop and mention the CF Casino night to get your exclusive rate. They are at 18 Coronation Street, Ahuriri 835-8775. And if you don't wish to go, Fancy Dress, then wear whatever you're comfortable in.... as long as it’s black and white.
Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.
🛡️ The "Caller Check" Test
If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and you’re unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:
❌ Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codes
❌ Never need to know your full credit card number – especially the CVC
❌ Never ask you to download software or remotely access your device
❌ Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
🧩😏 Riddle me this, Neighbours…
I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?
