A new way forward in 2022 for Harmony Circle, Warkworth
2022 sees a small change with Harmony Circle meetings. This gives us so much more scope as we adjust to the growth of HC!
The in-person get-togethers/presentations will now take place on the 1st Sunday evening of each month, and in-between we will have a zoom presentation on a day/time that suits the presenter.
This gives us the best of both worlds - meeting and hearing from the many locals who come along in person to share their knowledge with us, in addition to having the ability to hear from other people from further afield within NZ or around the world!
It also gives the breathing space for all the other meetings, gatherings and get-togethers that now happen in and around Harmony Circle. Perfect!
If you know of anyone who you'd like to see as a presenter, in-person or on zoom, let me know. And/or if you’d like to receive updates via the HC newsletter;

⚠️ 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 ❤️
