SELWYN TIMES Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz Wednesday January 15 2020 9 News Hororata event planned for Australian bush fires • By Devon Bolger HORORATA SINGER Holly Kimber has organised a community event in a bid to raise money for the Australian bush fires. She was inspired to do something to help the rural communities who have suffered. “Like many people I have found it hard to watch the disaster unfolding in Australia and really want to do something to help. “So I’ve called on my musical friends and a number of other Hororata locals to put together a fundraising concert,” said Kimber. A number of musicians will perform at the planned event, including Kimber’s band Chilton House and blues band the South Street Trio. All proceeds from the event will go to the BHR Fire Disaster and Drought Appeal administered by the Rotary Club of Sydney. The fund is used to support farmers impacted by the fires by organising food for stock and supplies for people. Kimber began her career as a musician at age 16 with a gig at Lyttleton’s Wunderbar. UNITE: Hororata musician Holly Kimber has organised an event with all proceeds going to the Australian bush fires. Now, she regularly performs at Christchurch live music hot spots showcasing her soulful singing and guitar playing or performing with her rock party band. She has taught and performed music at a summer camp in New York City before settling down to study at Ara Music Arts. • The concert will be held in the Hororata Domain this Sunday, 4pm–7pm. Entry will be $10 per adult, children under 15 free. Cash only at the gate. If you can’t attend, you can still donate. Email hororatahelpingaustralia@gmail.com for details Libraries helping rescue efforts RESIDENTS ARE being invited to help rescue efforts for wildlife caught in the Australian bush fires. A campaign launched by Selwyn Libraries aims to send supplies of pouches, wraps and nests. Libraries at Lincoln, Rolleston, Leeston and Darfield are opening their doors for people to come in and help make the items. Patterns, materials and sewing machines will be available to use. Arts, culture and lifelong learning manager Nicki Moen said staff became aware of the Animal Rescue Craft Guild’s plight and decided they could help. “One of the things we can do is give practical assistance, by knitting and sewing pouches IMAGE: GETTY and wraps that will directly help rehabilitate animals injured in the wildfires.” Nicki says. “People have been really touched by the plight of these animals, and the organisations that are struggling to keep up with the scale of the devastation. Residents can also make items at home, pattern and sewing requirements can be found online, or check the Selwyn Libraries Facebook page, and drop them off at the library. Donations of soft natural fibres, such as flannelette cotton, are also being accepted. The project will continue as long as the demand for items remains. JOIN US NOW!
