Midday Concert Series Starts Friday 3rd
Welcome back everyone!
This year's concerts begin Friday 3 March with SUE BROWN
& THE MARSHALLS and John Curtis on bass guitar.
With her soulful voice Sue Brown has been in the music scene in Taupō for many years. Recently she performed at Taranaki Jazz Club and featured as a guest at Art Deco Events 2022.
Her first performance for the Midday Concert Series was in 2021.
This year she will be supported by The Marshalls (Peter on tenor sax & Chev Fraser on keyboard), a Taupō combo known for their standards, but with Sue's smooth vocals, any catchy tune or haunting melody is possible. John Curtis will assist the trio on bass guitar guaranteeing a great job.
$5 cash entry. Hope to see you there.
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
Wild weather in the Waikato
The Waikato really copped it over the weekend, with wild weather leaving a hefty clean-up bill that may run into the millions.
While things are looking calmer in the days ahead, there are still plenty of slips and flooded roads across the district — so if you’re heading out, take it easy and stay alert.
We want to know: How did you and your whānau get on over the weekend?
