The Waimate Focus

From the Presidents notebook

Nau Mai haere mai!
 
Hope you have all had an amazing week! Community events are heating up around here, this past weekend was the A & P show, and it was great to see so many Rotarians out and about, along with St John Cadets. 
 
Next up is the auction, followed by putting up the Christmas tree… oh, sorry, that’s just our house!
 
Kia kaha whanau, see you Thursday!
