Hi

I thought you might be interested in a fundraising event that we have coming up for Electrix Cheerleading.

The great Dave Upfold, Stage Hypnotist. Saturday 11th August 7 - 9 pm at Nelson College for Girls.

As seen on TV3's "Campbell Live" program, Dave Upfold is known for his energetic, engaging and enthralling live shows. Dave's shows feature audience participation and utilise the power of the mind and suggestion. With no two shows ever being the same Dave has been entertaining audiences around the world with his hypnosis comedy show for over 20 successful years.

All who come to his shows laugh so much and feel so good that they may even walk away with a renewed sense of humanity, and generally a sore stomach from so much laughter.

This is one comedy stage hypnosis show you must see. Laughter is the best medicine.

We are raising funds to help our athletes get to competitions in the North Island.

Tickets can be bought directly through me, via electrixcheerteam@gmail.com or on www.eventfinda.co.nz...

I hope to see you there

Regards

Maxine

ACC Minister Hon. Iain Lees-Galloway recently swapped his suit for shorts and a tee to join a ‘Live Stronger for Longer’ strength and balance class. These classes help us as we age to retain lower body and core strength, remaining active to avoid falls.

No-one is bullet proof, falls happen and some can result in broken bones, pain and long healing times and can also make us fearful of falling again. Losing confidence can really affect quality of life.

Live Stronger for Longer strength and balance classes are growing nationwide. Visit www.livestronger.org.nz and join a class near you, you’ll find lots of practical information, advice and resources on how to live an active, healthy and independent life.

Proudly brought to you by ACC, MoH, HQSC and your local community health providers.
