Dulcis Tibia Concert
15 November at Waikanae Presbyterian Church Hall, 3 pm - no tickets but donations are requested.
We have presented concerts in Waikanae for several years. If you haven't heard us you will most likely be surprised at how different our sound is from recorders that were taught in schools. Our instruments range from the very deep, mellow contrabass to descant. Our programme spans classical music from some of the earliest (medieval) that was written to two 20th century tangoes. It includes very beautiful Baroque music and a suite of arrangements of three eastern European folk melodies.
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% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.7% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated

ACCOMMODATION REQUIRED
Our grandson (20) recently moved to Kapiti from Taranaki and is looking for accommodation. Anything considered.
He describes himself as clean and tidy, friendly but a bit reserved and quiet.
I would add trustworthy and family orientated.
