Disney Concert this weekend in Upper Hutt
Two local Choirs The Hutt Valley Singers and The Major Minors Children’s Choir are putting the finishing touches on their DisneyTwo Concert coming up this Sunday.
Musical Director of both choirs Joanne Roelofs has been planning this for a while. "Originally planned for 2021 and postponed twice because of Covid-19 it seems fitting that this concert is the first of the Hutt Valley Singers 90th Anniversary concert series. The adult choir supported the
beginnings of the major Minors Children’s choir and when the two choirs come together it’s a big exciting sound. Each choir has their own songs and the combined ones will be a highlight and lots of fun” says Joanne.
On the programme are songs from a range of Disney Movies including The Lion King, Hunchback of Notre Dame, Moana, Aladdin and more. Expect a bit of Disney Magic and surprises too!
Tickets to the concert being held at St Hilda’s Church Hall 35 Cruickshank Road are $15 for adults, $10 for senior/students and $5 for children under 12.
Tickets available online at majorminors.org.nz...
Limited door sales available.
⚠️ 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 ❤️
