Summer has arrived with the unpredictable weather we expect, however this will not dampen our spirits as we look forward to the festive season , catching up with family and friends. Recently we celebrated 47 years of Quota Papakura contribution to our community. We had this years Antique fair recipients (Pet Refuge and Burns support) present to accept their donation. They spoke about the truly amazing work they do in supporting woman and children (and pets) through life’s turbulence. We also heard from this years Audiology scholarship winner, and the positive impact they and her grant recipient colleagues are making. I felt honoured and proud to be part of such a wonderful organisation. 537K…yes, $537,000 that is over half a million dollars! of fundraising in monitory contributions as well as hours, days, weeks and years of commitment to serving our community. Past and present members had a wonderful night reflecting on this truly amazing contribution.

“Oh what a night!”….A picture says a 1000 words, so in honour of the event this newsletter has more pages than usual

Thank you all
