Morrinsville Lions Club
The Morrinsville Lions Club has presented our school with $3000 as a share of the proceeds from the collection and sale of casualty calves, generously donated by local farmers in the area. The donation will be allocated to our planned Sensory Space.
|
The Lions Club has supported our school and others in the district for many years now, making a significant impact on the quality of resources we can provide for our students.
|
We urge our farming families to continue their support of the Lions scheme, as the proceeds
have such a marked benefit for our community.
|
All funds raised by Lions Clubs from the community go back to the community in one way
or another.
