Operatunity presents Fabulous 50’s
Operatunity invites you to relive the romance and the fun of the 1950’s! Back to a time when vocals met harmonies, our phenomenal singers and band give praise to the greats like Elvis, The Everly Brothers and Bill Haley and the Comets!
The Chicks' very own Suzanne Lynch leads the troupe of performers in our wind-back-the-clock concert Fabulous 50’s, reviving songs from Connie Francis and Doris Day, while Peking Man star Pat Urlich gives his best Elvis tribute, complete with gyrating hips! Karl Perigo will perform songs from the likes of The Everly Brothers and more recently Michael Bublé.
See this toe-tapping trio at the Whangarei Central Baptist Church, 200 Bank Street, on October 6th at 11am. Tickets $34 including lunch. Group discounts available for 10+.
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?
-
59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26.1% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.4% ... It is complicated
