Fundraiser on offer to community groups
Calling all community groups or individuals wanting to raise funds – author and photographer Katherine Tozer has an idea for you.
The AgResearch weed scientist has produced a 64-page book filled with photos of New Zealand back country scenery and she is offering it to charities for fundraising. One current project is using the book to help build a community centre in Cambridge.
Tales from the Back Country features stories of farm dogs and life in the rugged back blocks, as told to Katherine by high-country shepherds, musterers, drovers and farmers.
The book has wide appeal, she says. “It gives a snapshot of the New Zealand way of life which is fast disappearing, has photos of magnificent scenery and then there’s some wonderful dog tales. It would make a great gift, or present to post overseas.”
Tales costs $10 (includes GST and postage) and is marketed at $25.
“Charities can keep all the profits, so that is $15 per book, for their own use. $10 is the cost price, assuming a bulk purchase, which charities pay directly, including postage, to the printer, Print House Ltd, prior to receiving the books.”
The book is perfect bound with a soft cover with flaps and is 23cm by 23cm in size. It has been designed and printed in New Zealand.
