MANGAKAHIA LIONS CLUB
It seems to have been a busy year for the Mangakahia Lions. We wish everyone a happy and healthy New Year.
Pre Christmas, we hosted 120 senior citizens at our annual luncheon for those currently living in our community, or have done so in the past. The people who attend this function always get a great buzz out of the day. They enjoy a great meal and catch up with old friends. We are privileged to be able to provide this service, and gives us great satisfaction in seeing so many happy faces.
We have split a big pile of firewood, which is our major fundraiser for the year. This is truly dry and good quality gum. If anyone wants firewood, please contact a Lions member or Graeme Dawson 4347215 / 021962253
We are putting on a mixed fundraising golf Tournament at Sherwood park on Friday, 6th March. The funds raised this year are going to “Kind Hands Charitable Trust”. This local charity provides respite care for children under 6 years who have a disability and/or are medically fragile. This tournament is a lot of fun, with great prizes and food provided. Whether you are a gun golfer, or spend more time than you would like looking for your ball, put a team together, (or apply individually). Please contact Grant Algie 0274777873 or Royce Kokich 0274305374 / 4346874.

MANGAKAHIA GARDENING CLUB
The Mangakahia Garden Ramble was held in November and was a huge success. The weather was perfect and it was great to see the excellent support for the event. The fundraising will be used to upgrade the exterior of the Mangakahia Complex.
A huge thank you to our ten owners who graciously opened their homes and gardens for the ramble.
Hope you are all enjoying the summer fruits and blooms at this time of year.
