Today's FIKA community high tea luncheon at the Ohinemuri Club was a truly uplifting celebration of community spirit! We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who attended and played a vital role in making this event a resounding success. Thanks to your collective efforts, we've successfully raised $400 for the Ohinemuri Club Maintenance and Development Fund and another $600 for CPNZ Paeroa. Your kindness and generosity have inspired us to strive for excellence and make a profound impact in our community. We're honored to be part of such a compassionate community, where selflessness shines bright.
Our sincerest appreciation extends to all who supported our raffles, the Ohinemuri Club for graciously allowing us to use their premises, and our incredible sponsors Valley Funeral Services, Lorraine and Pete C, Jan and Ian M for their remarkable contributions to our raffle prizes. Special grateful thanks goes to Valley Funeral Services for providing additional lucky draw spot prizes, showcasing their exceptional commitment to our community. You've all embodied the true spirit of community and generosity, inspiring us to make a profound difference in the lives of those around us.
A special thank you to our extraordinary team - Christine N, Sue B, Jeanette M and Eddie - who worked tirelessly to create an unforgettable experience. We're profoundly grateful to Lyn McHugh for giving us an insight into CPNZ Paeroa and its invaluable contributions to the safety of our Paeroa community. Kudos to Christine Necklen for her outstanding work as our MC and quiz mistress, shining brightly with her exceptional talent. We're also deeply grateful to Rangi for sharing his remarkable gift with us, touching our hearts with his selflessness.
As we look forward to our final community event of the year - Our 5th Annual Christmas Magic Community Luncheon on 6 December 2025, let's continue spreading love, kindness, and compassion through our community events. Wishing you a truly blessed weekend. π₯°β€οΈππ»
