Whau’s Seniors
High Tea project
The board hosted High Tea for the
Whau’s senior community on 8 March 2018 – the primary purpose
being to provide a fun afternoon out for Whau senior citizens; the secondary
purpose being to ask guests to give feedback to the LTP 2018 - 2028 . The
Whau Local Board members wish to acknowledge and extend heartfelt and sincere
thanks to:
·
New
Lynn RSA whose community spirit shone with the offer of a venue and transport
resources free of charge; and thanks also to their women’s institute
whose sandwiches delighted the palate.
·
Age
Concern who graciously extended invitations to their members in the Whau and
whose CEO, Kevin Lamb, assisted with delivering the programme on the day.
·
Steve
MacDonald and Grey Power for their support and also for extending invitations
to their members in the Whau.
·
The
New Lynn Business Association for providing much appreciated funding and resource
support.
·
The
Wardroom café, who also scintillated with their sweets and savories
·
Last,
but certainly not least, to all the lovely, senior, young at heart
participants and their care givers, who made the decision to grace us with
their presence, and as such making the day a huge success.
Thank you also to those who have been in
touch to give such lovely feedback about how much you’ve enjoyed the
event.
Given the
success, the board will be deliberating on future events for seniors.
