Dear friends, It was with great sadness that we learned on Sunday that our dear friend and co-founder of Magdalena Aotearoa, Sally Rodwell, has died. She had struggled since the death of her husband and theatre partner Alan Brunton in 2002, and now she is at peace and with Alan.
Sally's funeral takes place at Erskine Chapel in Island Bay on Thursday afternoon (19th October).Sally was instrumental in saving Erskine College from demolition and the chapel is a beautiful and appropriate place for her farewell. A celebration of Sally's incredible life will be held this Sunday, 22nd October, from 2pm onwards, and there will be the opportunity for those who wish to, to speak, sing, perform, etc.
The venue is The Studio, 146 Riddiford St., Newtown, Wellington. Please bring a plate / BYO. Messages can be sent to magdalen@actrix.co.nz with love, the Magdalena Aotearoa Trustees --
