We are a non affiliated, not for profit choir whose purpose is to be of service to the community, taking live music to charitable institutions such as rest homes and hospitals as well as local arts venues. We sing for joy and our purpose is to generate uplifting music in these difficult times. Our repertoire includes a lot of Renaissance and other classical music; also gospel, world, folk and contemporary. Choral experience is good but not essential. We are a reading choir so some ability to read music is a pre-requisite. There is a wide age range - young to ca 65. Rehearsals are in Titirangi on Mondays, 7.15 - 9.15pm. For further information please contact the Musical Director Brigid Bisley at brigidbisley@gmail.com. We look forward to hearing from you :)

Just to let you know these phone calls are currently going round.
"Good morning, according to our system, you are likely to have been in close proximity to someone who has tested positive for COVID-19. This means that you now need to self-isolate for 7 days and take a COVID-19 test."
"OK. Can you tell me who that person was?"
"I'm not able to tell you that. That is confidential information."
"Right. Um... so ...."
"But you do need to be tested within the next 72 hours. So can I just get the best mailing address so that we can send a kit to you?"
"Ok (gives address)"
"Thank you - and I just need to take a payment card so that we can finalize this and send the kit to you."
"Sorry - a payment card? I thought this was all free?"
"No - I'm afraid not. There is a one-off fee of $50 for the kit and test results. Could you read off the long card number for me, please, when you're ready."
"No - that's not right."
"I'm afraid it is. Can you give me the card number please - this is very important, and there are penalties for not complying."
Puts the phone down.
This is how scammers work and vulnerable people will fall for it.
PLEASE BE AWARE AND WARN OTHERS - LET'S STOP THESE VILE PEOPLE FROM DOING THIS!!!!

Jasmin McArdle, 40, gave birth to her second child, son Teddy, on April 21 by emergency C-section. Soon after, headaches that she has always dealt with, became more painful.

Do you know of any unique places of worship in Auckland? Perhaps you have a special area in your home where your family meets to pray, or the way you cook and meet people is shaped by your faith? How does your faith help you through challenging times?
I'd love to hear from people of all religions - please email me a little bit about yourself at caroline.williams@stuff.co.nz if you're interested in sharing.
Hi Neighbours, The plans to have a big upgrade of downtown Auckland ready for the America's Cup, has gone, thanks to Coronavirus delays. Some harbour projects won't be ready until early-mid 2021. Do you think it matters? Read the story below:

Have you seen the arial photographs of the progress of construction on the major motorway project north of Auckland?
The Ōkahu Viaduct is a steel girder bridge that crosses Pūhoi Rd and Te Aqua Pūhoi.
Work is taking place near the Johnstones Hill tunnels, as part of the Ara Tūhono project that will extend the four-lane Northern Motorway (SH1) 18.5km from Pūhoi to just north of Warkworth, in a move aimed at improving road safety.
The motorway was scheduled to open at the end of 2021, but delays due to the coronavirus alert level 4 lockdown in April meant nearly five weeks of working time was lost.
Now, the new road is expected to be open in time for Queen’s Birthday weekend 2022. To read more, click here

The collaboration led to him having a "surreal" FaceTime call with West - one of his biggest inspirations. Sheikh's music is inspired by his work supporting Kiwi kids experiencing poverty through the charity he founded called Bread. Find out more about him and his work in the below story and video.
