Playing to the Stroke Club 1st July 2010

Part of NSOKC's activities includes taking our music out to the Community and one of our members, Joan Perkins, runs the North Shore Stroke Club as part of the National Stroke Foundation. Volunteer Paul Joung and Stroke Club Leader Joan Perkins Joan has been involved with the Stroke Club for some 28 of the Club's 30 year history and has been the Group Leader for the past 8 years. Joan has received many Civic Awards for her voluntary work and is a most worthy recipient as are all her loyal Committee helpers. It was our pleasure to provide music for their meeting which is weekly every Thursday morning starting about 10 am at St Joseph's Church Hall, Takapuna. Peter Brophy, the NSOKC's Events Manager, was accompanied by Peter Jackson from the Club on this occasion. Boy, did they get the audience jogging-along to the rousing old-time favourites.
