22-March-2023
Thank you to all members who have contributed towards our club fundraiser to assist those who suffered in the devastation caused by Cyclone Gabrielle. The combined proceeds from last Saturday's tournament, donations from individual club members and the funds raised by sales of socks kindly donated by Terri McFedries, have now reached a figure of over two thousand dollars. We will continue with these sales and to accept donations until the end of this month, after which the total amount will be forwarded to the Central Hawke’s Bay Mayoral Relief Fund.
We are grateful to Liz Fitzgerald and Thea Mapletoft for donating their time last Saturday, to those who helped on the day and to all of you who have contributed to the cause in some way.
Many thanks,
Marilyn Copland,
Club President.
