Benefit Fundraiser – SATURDAY, 10 DECEMBER 2016 – $10 TO RED CROSS

Jo Sheffield, member of Levin Folk Music Club, was inspired to approach the folk music community to ask for help to raise funds towards supporting the victims of the devastating earthquakes in Kaikoura and surrounding districts. “It is amazing how quickly everyone sprang into action to help organise concerts, arrange venues & sound systems, and play for free” she said. “I am blown away by the overwhelming response and think that together, we can make a real difference”.
The Levin concert which is being organised by Jo, (with help from the LFMC and members) is on Saturday 10th December from 2pm to 5pm at Levin Memorial Hall (corners of Queen Street and Chamberlain Streets). Door sales are available and tickets are just $10 each with ALL proceeds going directly into the Red Cross Earthquake Appeal. Please come along and support all those affected by the devastating earthquake. We have a great line-up of local artists to entertain you, including Black-Eyed Suzie, Steve Poulton, Kevin Watson with Simon Burgess & Gill Allen, and Nigel Parry, as well as Wellington-based musicians Vic Manuel and Jim and Roni Perkins.
We look forward to seeing you on the day but if you can’t make it, you can also donate through our Give A Little Page (https://givealittle.co.nz/fundraiser/folk4kaikoura ).
If you need more information, please contact Jo Sheffield on 021 205 9972.

Happy to announce Colin Brown continuing on as Secretary/Newsletter Editor this year; the positions of Chair and Treasurer will be filled within committee or rotated amongst committee members. Several new committee members (Jean Hollis and Cavan Haines) joining Dale, Colin, Keith, Kevin and Paul – wonderful! There was a productive discussion around the Motions: Motion 1 was carried, taking effect from 1 July 2017 and Motion 2 was defeated, so our concert prices will continue at $5 for members and $10 non-members. Dale will take on Bookings, with publicity help from Rona and Ian Todd. It was good to see members offering support in a variety of ways, and very positive feedback about the committee’s work and future of the Club. The Reports are available under Downloads on the website. Thank you to all 2015 committee including resigning members Jo, Rona and Margaret. From Dale
