Weekly Digest

Kia ora Amigo!

I'm really looking forward to Thursday night's Rainbow Auckland event with the Auckland Philharmonia! There's something special about combining great classical music with our community - plus getting to sip wine on the balcony while hearing from rainbow musicians Jonathan Cohen and Gabrielle Pho before the show sounds like the perfect Thursday evening. Mozart and Wagner in the Town Hall with fellow rainbow folks? Count me in.

I'm also buzzing about the LOCKER ROOM fundraiser that URGE Events is putting on for the Falcons Rugby team. Love that it's supporting our local rugby crew to host the Purchase Cup right here in Tāmaki Makaurau. Plus, any excuse to dust off my old rugby gear and dance the night away while supporting a good cause is a win in my book!

P.S. If you’ve got any thoughts, feedback, or an event coming up that you’d love to see featured, just hit reply to this email, I’d love to hear from you!
