We are Looking for Singers- A free, fun event!
Taranaki Harmony Chorus invite Low, Mid, High voiced women aged 20+ to join them on their Membership drive - Taranaki Roadshow style. We are a dynamic group of women who come from towns all around the mountain and love this singing craft, most of us work and this hobby gives us time for us, a new and different interest that brings joy to the singer as well as their audience. You can expect a fun social time with no commitment on the day; you'll get to sing in groups, find out where your voice range sits and experience what we love: acapella four part harmony singing.
We are looking for singers who can hold their part and love to perform and sing! Dates: Saturday 22nd July in Hawera (am) and Stratford (pm) and Saturday 29th July in Waitara (am and New Plymouth (pm)

⚠️ 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 ❤️
