Motueka Aquatic Centre Fundraising news

Sue from Motueka

An update from the Small Events fundraising team. Sunday's sausage sizzle outside Mitre 10 was a fairly quiet affair but every penny counts! We banked $226. New contacts were made and questions were answered. Thanks to Mitre 10 for the use of their BBQ and for help with erecting their gazebo.
Our next fundraiser is being held on 29th March at the RSA. The Nelson County Playboys will be entertaining 2pm-3.30 pm. They are very kindly giving their time free of charge - tickets are $20 each and we are asking everyone to arrive at 1.30pm. The bar will be open and door sales will be available.
Please do support this fundraiser if you can. Tickets available from the RSA - see the poster for other selling outlets
