Hospice North Shore urgently needs to see more tickets to their Coatesville and Dairy Flat Homes and Gardens Tour which takes place on Friday 30 March.
Funding Development Manager for Hospice North Shore, Gaynor Larsen, told a breakfast of BNI Hospice Champions and BNI directors this morning that the hospice did not make its funding targets last year, and has a bit to make up.
She said that some BNI chapters sponsor the hospice’s SKY TV facility, which always elicits the question from visitors and patients: “What is BNI?”.
BNI Director Mariska Mannes pointed out that some chapters ‘fine’ members when their mobile phones ring during a meeting and this may be a good way to send some money to Hospice North Shore.
“They have a fundraising number — 0900 46774 (0900 HOSPICE) – which when dialed is an automatic $25 donation to the hospice, and is charged to the caller’s telephone account. It’s a great way to make a small donation to hospice.”
Hospice North Shore is also holding a “Thanksgiving for Hospice” service on Sunday 13 May at 4pm at the St Peters Anglican Church in Killarney Street, Takapuna.
“Our invitation is to join us for a special ‘inter-denominational’ service of thanksgiving to acknowledge the work of hospice and to pray for patients, families, volunteers and hospice staff.”
