A Most Excellent Concert this Sunday at 3pm in the Old Library.

Thu from Tikipunga

Kia Ora Whanau and Friends!

I am a member of Sistema Whangarie, and on behalf of the organization, I would like to forward this email with an excitement to invite you all to attend the event with A Most Excellent Concert this Sunday at 3pm ( 14/11/2021 ) in the Old Library.

*****

Our Kahikatea and Tui Orchestras have been working hard and with lockdowns and uncertainty they are SO THRILLED to be able to perform for you now.

Also, the musicians who would have gone to the Marimba Festival in August are going to present their pieces for us. Having missed out on the Festival, they are very excited to finally get to perform for us.

Our newest addition to the Sistema musical groups is our Jazz Group. They will be providing some mellow tunes.

We would absolutely LOVE for as many of the whanau and friends to attend as possible. This is also a great opportunity for our Miromiro musicians to come and see what their next step is.

The music and presentation is inspiring and uplifting. What a great way to start the holiday season.

The concert will be livestreamed on Facebook, so if you cannot attend you can still participate. Here is the link: www.facebook.com...


At this stage we are still planning on going to the Sistema HUI in February and have set up a Give a Little page to help raise funds for that.

This link is here, and it is also on the Home page of our website and will be linked to the livestream on Facebook as well. Give A Little - The Power and Possibility of Music

Thank you very much for your continued support and encouragement of our tamariki and rangatahi. Their joy and success is all our joy and success!

See you Sunday!!!

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!
