Kia ora koutou,

Just a friendly reminder of a couple of Arthritis New Zealand events coming up in August and September.

Garden Party Fundraiser at Duart House – please book your tickets this week!

We are holding a Garden Party fundraiser on Sunday 30 August at Duart House in Havelock North, from 2pm – 4pm. The tickets are just $25 and all funds raised will go towards continuing delivery of Arthritis New Zealand services in Hawke’s Bay. It is sure to be an enjoyable day: afternoon tea will be provided, our chief executive Sandra Kirby will speak, there will be a small art exhibition, music, plus a couple of silent auction items. Explore the beautiful gardens of Duart House if it’s fine, or stay warm inside while looking through the historic house and museum, where there will be plenty of seating available. We urgently need to confirm ticket sales this week in order for the event to be a success. If you have ever received services from Arthritis New Zealand, then this is one way that you can show us your support – it would be really appreciated! Phone Shireen Maindonald on 0800 663 463 or email [email protected] to book.
