School Holiday Art Classes at Petone's Seaside Art & Gift Gallery

Alfred Memelink Artspace Gallery

Attending one of these art classes at Petones seaside gallery could be the most rewarding activities youth could do these school holidays. No previous experience required, - under the expert and helpful guidance of Petone artist, Alfred Memelink, youth will learn the basics of watercolour painting in a fun environment above the seaside art gallery. Leave your youth with us and pick them up again 2 hours later when, proud as punch, they will have their masterpiece ready to show you and wearing a beaming smile of creative satisfaction. You can select from either a morning class, 10am – 12 midday or afternoon class from 1 – 3pm. There are also a couple of Saturday morning family art classes where parents, uncles/aunts or grandparents are also welcome to join and for youth prices.

Mike from Alicetown

Looks like Penk ignored the wishes of the community. Why might that have been? 🤔🤔www.rnz.co.nz...

Anyone know what view the Hutt South MP held on the matter?🤔

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

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 ❤️
