From the Presidents notebook
Nau Mai haere mai,
What a week it has been! The foundation auction was a roaring success, a huge thank you to Carolyn and your amazing international committee who ran an incredible evening!
And of course, to those of you who supported our auction on the night, by putting in a bid or two and purchasing some incredible auction items!
There will be a lot of people who will have much-needed aid and immunisations thanks in part to all of you.
Give yourself a huge pat on the back, and I will see you on Thursday at the community gardens.
Becs
Rural Prevention
For those out in the country and even in town, this is a timely reminder from your local police officer to please remove keys from vehicles, lock sheds and vehicles and remove items that may tempt a burglar. Let’s remember they are opportunistic!
Foundation Night
It indeed was a very successful evening and we managed to raise $29,000.
Congratulations to Carolyn and the International Committee🥳
