Exposed- Alzheimer's Group Calenar-Alexandra
Exposed- Alzheimer’s Group Calendar- Alexandra
The Forget-Me-Not 2010 calendar, featuring near naked men& women from Alexandra, is on sale to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society Otago and its carers in Central Otago. More than 100 copies have been sold so far contributing to the $10,000 already raised.
Alzheimer’s Society Otago manager Julie Butler said the calendar was a marvelous success but the organisation needed more core funding. Otago DHB funds the society’s Dunedin based service. However, there is no regular funding for rural services even though there are more than 100 families in Central Otago affected by Alzheimer’s disease. Committed staff, currently use their own vehicles to visit Central and Mrs. Butler says securing rural funding would help to “pay staff fulltime, buy a vehicle and expand the service.”

Wanaka- Compassionate Community Raises Funds
Wanaka- Compassionate Community Raises Funds
A house tour to raise funds for Tessa Cowie of Otautau has shown the warm, compassionate nature of the Wanaka community. Two year old Tessa has Downes Syndrome and is now fighting myeloid leukaemia. Both sets of Tessa’s grandparents live in Wanaka and together with local volunteers organised the house tour. Over 200 tickets sold for $25 each the tour covered seven different styles of housing in and around Lake Wanaka. The organisers were astounded by the response of local people and Mary-Louise Roulston, who helped organise the tour said “The feedback was that everyone really enjoyed the tour- and the sunshine.”
