ONE OF THE WORLD’S TOP PIANISTS TO PERFORM IN WANAKA

Internationally celebrated pianist Jian Liu, who has performed in some of the world’s most prestigious concert halls, will bring his extraordinary talent to the Lake Wānaka Centre for one night only on Monday, 8 June at 7.30pm.

Jan Liu’s programme surveys the different ways composers of New Zealand and Chinese heritage paint their worlds in sound.

The journey begins with landscapes featuring Douglas Lilburn’s From the Port Hills and Huang Hu Wei’s evocative Pictures from Bashu, while Tan Dun’s Eight Memories in Watercolour and Salina Fisher’s Three Short Pieces capture nature’s fleeting beauty in shimmering sound.

Gareth Farr’s Love Songs and Zhang Zhao’s Three Songs from the Mountains of Southern Yunnan give voice to love and longing.

The second half turns to childhood and memory. Gillian Whitehead’s Lullaby for Matthew and He Luting’s Lullaby offer tender moments of repose, while Anthony Ritchie’s Caroline Bay Suite and Ding Shande’s Children’s Suite Dance with the laughter of children at play before Sonatinas by David Farquhar and Wang Lisan bring the programme to a spirited close, brimming with energy and joy.

Tickets are on sale now. Adult tickets are $40, with free entry for school pupils. Bookings are available through Gifted Design (cash only), the Wānaka iSITE and eventfinda.co.nz, with cash door sales also available on the night. Concertgoers can also enjoy a 10% preconcert dinner discount at Gusto by mentioning the magic words ‘Wānaka Concert Society’ when booking on 03 443 6639.

Everyone is warmly welcome to attend either or both events.

Sense of belonging with Aspiring Rotary

"My husband and I moved to Wānaka almost three years ago, bringing not only our belongings but also our entire business. We didn’t know anyone here, which in itself can be a scary thought. Within a month or so of moving, I was invited to a meeting for Aspiring Rotary and decided to join. I had never been part of a volunteer group before, and Rotary had never been on my 'radar', so I wasn’t sure what to expect, but from the very

first meeting, I felt a warm welcome, a sense of belonging, and gained insight into the incredible community that makes up Wānaka.

Aspiring Rotary makes meetings more accessible by only having 2 meetings a month for one hour. A key focus of the club is supporting the local community through hands-on involvement.

This includes catering at events, running bars at functions, and organising fundraising initiatives

for groups such as Mental Hunts. The club also proudly donates annually to the No Child Misses Out fund, alongside supporting many other local charities, community events, and grassroots initiatives throughout the Upper Clutha.

Our group is made up of business owners, workers, retirees, mums, dads, and grandparents, all united by a common purpose: giving our time and expertise to support the community.

I would highly recommend coming along to a meeting and seeing for yourself the community you could be part of. You may also, like me, find a strong sense of belonging."

– Livia, Aspiring Rotary.

WHAT: Aspiring Rotary.

WHEN: Next meeting: Thursday, 25 June. 5.30pm. INFO: Email aspiringrotary@gmail.com for more information, or check out the Aspiring Rotary Facebook page.

In October, we go on a Mystery Bus Trip – a day trip to somewhere interesting, complete with a special meal.

Each meeting is advertised in The Messenger's Community Diary and each member is contacted with all the details.

For those of you who are new to the area, this is a good way to meet people as part of a small, friendly group, to hear about travelling abroad and in some cases living experiences around the world.

Support for people living with Dementia

Every Wednesday from 10.00am – 1.00pm we have a small social group gathering for people with dementia. The key focus is for everyone to have some fun. We have various activities that occur and lots of stimulating conversations keeping the brain active. The sessions are all held in the comfort of a home environment. The group is

small and intimate giving it a nice cosy feeling. We currently have two spaces free.

On a Tuesday, Kate runs a program for people with younger onset dementia, who were diagnosed under 65 years old. This is an active group and they go on various trips out and about. Currently this programme is full, but if you would like to go on the waiting list, please feel free to contact.

Pop-up foodbank to begin in Hāwea

Community Link is bringing foodbank support closer to home for Lake Hāwea and Makarora residents, with a new pop-up service launching this week at the Lake Hāwea Community Centre.

Running every Wednesday from 12.00 - 2.00pm throughout winter. The pop-up aims to make it easier for local whānau to access food support without needing to travel into Wānaka.

As winter sets in and cost-of-living pressures increase, having practical support available locally can make a real difference for families. The initiative is designed to remove barriers and ensure people can access support easily.

Food parcels are pre-ordered, allowing the Community Link team to prepare supplies in advance. The collection time has been chosen to suit families, when children are at school and it is easier to visit the community centre.

Anyone needing support is encouraged to get in touch by emailing foodbank@communitylink.nz to arrange a parcel and learn more about how the service works.

The pop-up is made possible thanks to the support of the Lake Hāwea Community Centre, and Dunlop Builders, who are providing transport to Hāwea, reflecting a strong community effort to care for one another over the colder months.

By bringing services closer to where people live, Community Link hopes to ensure more families can access the support they need this winter.

The year culminates with a Christmas themed lunch

Te Kākano Aotearoa Trust is excited to announce a new community planting site at Peninsula Bay, creating another important step in restoring native biodiversity in our region. The site will be home to thousands of locally sourced native plants over the next 3-4 years, helping to improve habitat for birds and insects, and strengthen the health of the local ecosystem. The project has been made possible through strong collaboration with QLDC, local residents, the Upper Clutha Wilding Tree group, Upper Clutha Tracks Trust and Bike Wānaka. Over the next years, we will work together to re-plant, mulch, and care for the young native plants until they become a forest.

This new planting area will also provide opportunities for hands-on environmental education, allowing local tamariki and community groups to learn about native ecosystems in a meaningful and practical way.

Community members are warmly invited to get involved in the first planting day happening on Saturday, 13 June from 1.00pm to 4.00pm. The site is located at the end of Penrith Park Drive.

Whether you are experienced or simply keen to support local restoration efforts, everyone is welcome!

VOLUNTEER CHAIR

Seeking a champion deeply connected to place

Having laid the groundwork, the Aspiring Community Foundation is seeking a well-connected, respected local to be our Chair. This is a rare opportunity to shape philanthropy across the Upper Clutha, for generations to come.

Who we are

We are locals who believe in giving where we live and investing in our shared future. As the needs of our people and our place evolve, philanthropy helps communities thrive. We aim to make giving accessible, connecting donors with causes that matter to them, protecting and growing funds forever.

Our values define us

• Connected – Our community is at the heart of everything we do.

• Integrity – We earn trust by being accountable, transparent, and ethical.

• Approachable – Everyone who wants to give back is welcome here.

Who you are

You are already known and trusted across the Upper Clutha. Your networks run deep. Your heart is always here. People trust you to lead authentically. You don’t need to be a governance or philanthropy expert. But you do need to:

• Understand the role of a voluntary Board Chair and have some governance experience

• Be self-aware, able to interact with warmth, integrity, and humility

• Inspire trust and build meaningful relationships

• Believe that acts of generosity can create enduring change

• Approach the future with curiosity and open-mindedness

What you’ll do

As Chair, you will:

• Help shape and lead our strategic direction and long-term legacy

• Build relationships with donors, community leaders, trustees and advisors

• Champion the Foundation’s values and purpose across the Upper Clutha

Time commitment

In this startup phase, we need approximately 6-10 hours a week, including board meetings, community events, and donor conversations. As the Foundation grows, the commitment will settle into a more typical Chair role.

Ready to lead with generosity?

We don’t need a polished CV. We need your heart, your networks, your leadership and your belief in the Community Foundation model. Please send a brief expression of interest to: julie@aspiringcommunityfoundation.nz

Live here. Give here. Lead here. Turn your generosity into lasting change.
