Thank you to the many volunteers who gave of their time to sort clothing to be sent to Nepal. Ten boxes in all!
And
A big thank you to all those who baked biscuits and slice for the Kia Ora Bryndwr event on 17 February. Your baking received many compliments and people took some away for children’s school morning teas & lunches and grandchildren’s afterschool snacks. The event was well attended and Luke met some of the local clergy, as well as the local MP and city council staff.
