TAPAC's Father's Day Fundraiser - Dad's Drag Bingo Night!
📣TAPAC FUNDRAISING EVENING | 2 September | 7:30pm
Due to funding cuts, the future of our free Kids Dance Pacific and Seniors Dance programme looks uncertain.
Kids Dance Pacific teaches children more about the dances, customs and ceremonies of the Pacific, offering valuable contact with the students cultural heritage. Seniors Dance is designed especially for seniors living independently with age-related physical mobility challenges.
Both of these classes have been so beneficial to students mental, social, and physical wellbeing.
So put away your slippers and slip into some sequins for a fabulous night of celebrating dad and a good cause! Drag Queen hostess Shavorn Aborealis will guide you through multiple rounds of the game before wrapping up the night with a spectacular drag show. Our bar will be fully stocked with Dad favorite's - beer, cider, wine, and cocktails - prizes for bingo winners will also be up for grabs, alongside various raffles which you will be able to enter.
🎟Grab your tickets via the link - we hope to see you there!
We're talking new year resolutions...
Tidying the house before going to bed each night, meditating upon waking or taking the stairs at work.
What’s something quick, or easy, that you started doing that made a major positive change in your life?

Just a bit of a fun poll to get you thinking.
If you had to live out your Christmas days, would you prefer it was a summer Christmas or a winter Christmas?

⚠️ 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 ❤️
