Breast Cancer Pink Ribbon Fundraising BreakfastBREAST CANCER Pink Ribbon
Fundraising Breakfast (maybe the most important breakfast of your year)
Sunday 23 May 2010 - 10 am onwards at the Te Anau Club, Cnr Pop Andrew Drive and Jackson Street, Te Anau, Phone 03 249 7113.
Guest speakers are Gretchen and James from More FM and organiser of the event Carmel McDowall said “We may have a survivor speaking but is yet to be confi rmed.”
Tickets $20 limited tickets available so be in quick. Tickets are available from the Te Anau Club or Aden Motels.
Breakfast is awesome all the usual cooked goods, cereal, yoghurt, fresh fruit platter, pastries all very generously
donated by the Te Anau Club (I couldn’t do this event without them)
Wear pink, glass of bubbly provided on arrival, raffl es really just a fun morning to raise money for a serious disease that effects over 2500 New Zealand women every year.
Carmel McDowall, who is organising the event for the second year and is also a Girl Guide leader said this year they are having a Pink Star Challenge to raise awareness about Breast Cancer. Dargaville Guides are having an attempt at the world’s longest bra chain so we are asking ladies to bring along an old bra and we will send them to Dargaville and any of the better condition garments will be sent to women in Africa and Haiti.
The inaugural event was extremely successful with Guest Speakers Margaret Foster, who was at the time assistant coach for the Southern Steel and an ex Silver Fern and selector and Dr Katie Graham of Te Anau.
All proceeds are to New Zealand Breast CancerFoundation.
Fiordland Players – Celebrate 50 years2010 MARKS 50 YEARS since
the fi rst theatre group was formed in the Fiordland area. For some years the group wondered if we would make this signifi cant anniversary. All groups of volunteers have suffered attracting participants in today’s society. Fiordland Players is no exception, but we made it and look forward to another 50 years.
Looking forward we want to devise a strategic plan for the future and have formulated a short questionnaire to assist with our planning. We hope many people will give their opinions, impressions and thoughts. Copies are available from the Te Anau Library, the “Fiordland Players Theatre Group” site on Facebook, or by emailing fi [email protected] .
At this stage Fiordland Players are planning a fairly simple reunion programme to coincide with our production to be staged September 2nd, 3rd and 4th. The intention is to invite reunion attendees to the Saturday night performance and hold a luncheon/afternoon function after
the clean up on Sunday 5 September. Even after one notice in the Southland Times there has been some interest so we may have to provide more activities for the reunion.
Two nights of auditions, for the September production of the pantomime “Arabian Nights”, are planned for May 20th and 27th. These auditions are held as a “read through” allowing people to read the parts they are interested in. We fi nd this makes for a fun, less stressful audition. There are a number of good roles for men, so get ready guys. Always room for the ladies and children too. All welcome, even just to listen, the more the merrier.
Thank you Te Anau for your continued support.
