Emerald Hotel, our sponsors for the Autumn Season are proud to sponsor an exciting new event:

"Hot Cross" Autumn Jazz

Venues:  Tatapouri Fishing Club, Gordon Gecko, The Wharf Cafe, The Works, The Meetings

Featuring over 10 fantastic local artists and the return of Mere Boynton - proceeds from donations on the day will help to support Eastwoodhill Arboretum.

This is a totally new waterfront event for Gisborne and one that we hope will grow from year to year.  Eastwoodhill has been fortunate to secure the support of some wonderful local artists and is delighted that Mere Boynton is again coming to Gisborne following the huge appreciation of her performance at the Eastwoodhill Long Lunch in February.  What wonderful settings to enjoy some fabulous music together with delicious food and refreshments.  We hope you were able to come along and experience Gisborne's first waterfront jazz festival on Easter Monday.

The Investment Adventurer Dr Gareth Morgan at The Cosmopolitan Club

High profile economist, author, investment manager, columnist and philanthropist; always entertaining, Gareth's presentations are an opportunity not to be missed.

Dr Morgan will speak about:-

Outlook for investment markets - from housing to international shares.

Kiwisaver - the good, the bad, and the downright ugly.

And with fellow motorcyclist Joanne:-

Stories from their 2006 'Backblocks America' road trip

An update of their experiences to date as beginners in the philanthropic sector.

Seats are limited, admission not guaranteed without registration.  Register at: www.garethmorgan.com

$15 cash admission is payable at the door, with proceeds going to the Eastwoodhill Arboretum, matched dollar for dollar by the Morgan Family Charitable Foundation.

This event was a sellout and the Friends of Eastwoodhill were delighted with the results - a wonderfully huge amount was raised for Eastwoodhill and then amazingly matched by the Morgan Family Charitable Foundation - fantastic!
