Jenny Rhodes receives the Life Membership certificate from Rodger Gallagher

Raglan artist Jenny Rhodes, was awarded Life Membership of the Raglan Community Arts Council, at the 2016 AGM on 13th September. Rodger Gallagher, Chairperson of the Raglan Arts Council said, that the award was to recognise Jenny’s outstanding contribution to the arts in Raglan Whaingaroa over many years.

Born in Raglan and a former primary school teacher, Jenny has been an artist from an early age. Mainly at home in the field of watercolour and acrylic painting, the artist also does illustrations and pencil sketches. She has painted many of Raglan’s historic buildings, including some that don’t exist in many more.

The Old School Arts Centre by Jenny Rhodes

A former surfer, Jenny loves the beach. That is where she collects the material for her wall-hangings, arrangements of driftwood, shells and all sorts of flotsam and jetsam (apart from the items that smell, as she adds, with a wink).

ONE LIFE tells the inspiring true story of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, whose unsung endeavours on the eve of World War II saved more than 600 children from their doom. Nicky considered himself a banker, not a humanitarian. Yet when he visited a recently annexed Prague in 1938 and saw the state of the fleeing Jewish refugees, he did what he believed was the right thing to do – the thing that anyone would do – and dedicated himself to the cause. War was approaching, and it was a race against time. How many children could he liberate before it ran out? Fifty years later, it’s 1988 and Nicky is haunted by the fate of the children he wasn’t able to help. And so it’s not until he’s surprised by the survivors on live television that he can accept that when facing devastating atrocities, saving even one life is a victory, and the British public learn the truth about the hero hidden in their midst.

ONE LIFE tells the inspiring true story of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, whose unsung endeavours on the eve of World War II saved more than 600 children from their doom. Nicky considered himself a banker, not a humanitarian. Yet when he visited a recently annexed Prague in 1938 and saw the state of the fleeing Jewish refugees, he did what he believed was the right thing to do – the thing that anyone would do – and dedicated himself to the cause. War was approaching, and it was a race against time. How many children could he liberate before it ran out? Fifty years later, it’s 1988 and Nicky is haunted by the fate of the children he wasn’t able to help. And so it’s not until he’s surprised by the survivors on live television that he can accept that when facing devastating atrocities, saving even one life is a victory, and the British public learn the truth about the hero hidden in their midst.
