Jazz fundraiser on
Book Sunday, March 1 to enjoy Jazz in a Country Garden, a repeat of the successful June Oakley Memorial Youth Trust annual fundraiser.
Trust secretary Dianne Ammundsen said those who attended the previous Jazz in a Country Gardens had great afternoons listening to the music and enjoying the garden, the wine and food, with some even dancing on the lawn.
“Music will be provided by Bill Pearson and Friends Jazz band, plus by the City Jazz band of Wellington and the youthful Look Both Ways band of Paraparumu College.
“Each time, since 2016 we’ve been asked to organise repeats and we have done so again.
“Accordingly please join us on Sunday, from 1.30pm to 5pm for an afternoon of lovely music at Matai Huka, Shona and Tony Lincoln’s beautiful gardens at 264 Valley Rd and enjoy a glass of wine or beer from the garden bar.
“Afternoon tea is included in the admission price.
“The event is a fundraiser for the June Oakley Memorial Youth Trust which was established some 32 years ago to assist Kapiti youth to achieve their educational, cultural, sporting or social goals. June Oakley had great vision, enthusiasm and energy. She was an innovative, forward thinking and much respected mayor of Kapiti. She was also involved in many community roles including the Girl Guides Association.
“When she died in 1986, her great work, especially with youth, needed to be recognised and remembered so the June Oakley Memorial Youth Trust was established and is now administered by The Lions Club of Kapiti.”
Tickets are $20 and are available from the kiosk at Coastlands, The Bookshelf at Waikanae and Kapiti Knitting and Lotto.
