Fundraising
As
you would be aware the contracts we have to provide services do not cover the
extra costs we require to be able to deliver the high quality service we strive
to do on a daily basis. So we are always looking at different way of raising
the extra funds needed. Here are a couple of new initiative’s we have
introduced and hope that you support us and will tell everyone else you know to come support Arohanui and
the work we do.
The Next-Door Gallery
At
our Greerton Centre a space became available next door to our existing centre
so we have leased the ground floor and put in a designated pottery/art workshop
at the rear and in the front we have created an art gallery to display and sell
some of the art products that everyone has been doing.
We
have a wide range of mosaics, pottery and other art forms for sale at very reasonable
prices
We
also have a collection of pieces from the Bethlehem pottery club some donated and
some on commission which is something we want to encourage for any community
artist out there who would like somewhere to display and sell their works.
So
tell all your friends and family and pop into the Next-Door Gallery at our Greerton
centre and pick yourself up a piece of unique original art. The gallery is open
Monday to Friday 9am to 3pm.
All
money from sales will go directly back to the people we support and to assist
with buying art resources.
The Entertainment Book
Many
of you may be already aware of, and using the Entertainment Book which has
hundreds of valuable up to 50% off and 2 for 1 offers for many best
restaurants, arts, attractions, hotels, travel, shopping and more. I have been
using this book and can testify that you can get a lot more from it than the
cost of the book which is $60.
An
extra this year is they have gone mobile and you can download the app onto your
phone so you don’t have to carry the book about.
Arohanui
is now selling these books and will receive 20% from each sale. If you would
like to purchase one you can go to our website www.arohanuitrust.co.nz and
click on the tab support us.
Or
you can ring Gaye in our office on 579-4603 as we have some books for sale on
site.
Please
remember that we are a registered charitable trust and if you do wish to
purchase any art, an entertainment book or just make a donation you can claim
it back against your tax. Just let us know and we will arrange a receipt for
you.
