Today is the International Day of Older Persons! It's an important day for everyone to recognize and say thank you to older people for their amazing contributions to the world, from mentoring and volunteering, to sharing experience, being in paid work and much more.

Pet transport overseas

Kay from Central Whangarei

We are emigrating overseas and we are taking our cat with us. Does anyone know a pet transport company they can recommend.
I asked the vet but they didn’t know of any in particular. When I googled the subject loads of companies came up so it’s a lottery!
Just thought someone might know of one that they could recommend???
Thanks ☺️

Whangarei Film Society - Screenings for Thursday April 25th

Geoff from Central Whangarei

Good People

On Thursday, the 25th April at 6pm, WFS will be screening the film version of the best-selling book, Are you there God? It's me, Margaret.

Our 8pm screening will be the inspiring drama, One Life, starring Anthony Hopkins.

PLEASE NOTE: There are NO film screenings by WFS on the following Thursday, the 2nd May due to the venue not being available.

Are you there God? It's me, Margaret
2023, Comedy/Drama, Rated PG
Cast: Rachel McAdams, Abby Ryder Fortson, Elle Graham and Kathy Bates

Margaret is just 11 when she moves with her family to a new town. The change inspires Margaret to think about everything that is going on with her life and in her friendships.

Margaret relies on her mother, Barbara and her grandmother, Sylvia for love and support. They too, are coming to terms with the next phase of her lives in a new town. Three generations of women consider their place in the world and what brings meaning to their lives.

A touching adaptation of a book which means so much to so many. "Are You There?" shows us relationships that balance humour and heart and asks the big questions.

View the trailer at: www.youtube.com...

Tickets: Door sales only. Price: $10 for WFS members, $15 for non members.

Cash only please - no Eftpos/credit card services available.
