Next week is Diabetes Awareness week and Diabetes HELP Tauranga and the Blind Foundation, as part of their EYES ON DIABETES MINI EXPO, are hosting a light lunch for some VIP's (long-standing members).

We have approached a number of local entertainers but sadly have not been able to find someone to provide some background music & provide about 30 mins entertainment to about 40 older adults. Can you help, or do you know someone who can?
