HACHIKO

“A dog’s story.”

This heartwarming true story is an American adaptation of a Japanese tale about a loyal dog named Hachiko.  This very special friend would accompany his master to the train station every day and return each afternoon to greet him after work. 

Sadly his master departs one day, passes away and never returns to the station. 

Hachiko faithfully returns to the same spot at the station the very next day, and every day for the next nine years to wait for his beloved master.  During his daily visits, Hachiko touches the lives of many who work near and commute through the town square.

Not to be missed...you'll LOOOOVE it...hope to see you there:)

POTATO POTATO POTATO.....

Yes! It's all about the humble SPUD!
Te Waka Aroha is planning a SPUD-FEST for the end of October.
WHY? They ought to be celebrated - just think  how versatile & how much a part of our life they are!
They're humble, simple, available, cheap, nourishing & yummy!

And make great pets....just kidding!!!
So far, we've thought up these ideas:
Potato races, printing, cooking....& a bit of Irish music seems appropriate...have YOU got some ideas?

This is to be a COMMUNITY CELEBRATION & we want to get YOU involved.....it's going to be a down to earth, fun, old-fashioned style festival......so, if you're keen to celebrate the potato, then phone 3889118 or email us at stfaiths1@gmail.com or pop into The Lounge [M-F between 10am-4pm].
We'd LOVE to hear from you:):)
