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

What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
Do you feel that we have reached the ideal in working environments yet? What rights are you passionate about relating to employment? Share your thoughts!
