Free concert by accomplished violinist
Good morning.
I'm taking this opportunity to invite you to a very special (FREE) concert by a very gifted violinist.
Hayden Wiseman (from Australia) is currently touring New Zealand and will be here in Blenheim for just one night - next Monday, April 24. His concert will be held at the Blenheim Seventh-day Adventist Church (corner of Percy and Arthur Streets) at 7:00pm.
Hayden testifies that he is a passionate violinist and loves to play for audiences from all walks of life. From a young age he has been inspired by other artists, such as Christian violinist Jaime Jorge and well-known classical artist Andre Rieu. He is thrilled when people are moved by his music.
Hayden was here in Blenheim prior to the lockdown and those who attended were thrilled and blessed by his presentation.
Attached is a link to his website, and another link to a short video clip.

For your enjoyment,

Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
