What a dazzling celebration of community spirit at the FIKA community high tea luncheon at the Ohinemuri Club last Saturday! Our heartfelt gratitude overflows to each and every one of you who attended and played a pivotal role in making this event a phenomenal success. Thanks to your collective efforts, we've triumphantly raised $400 for the Ohinemuri Club Maintenance and Development Fund and another $600 for CanTeen Aotearoa!
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, Jan and Ian M, Pam and Mike D, Andrea B and Cindy L for their remarkable contributions to our raffle prizes. A special thank you to Valley Funeral Services for their spot prizes. You've all embodied the true spirit of community and generosity, inspiring us all to make a profound difference.
Kudos to our extraordinary team - Christine N, Pam D, Jeanette M, Ayla N, Eddie and Cindy L - who worked tirelessly to create an unforgettable experience. We're profoundly grateful to Christine N 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 soulful music entertainment.
Our next event is scheduled on the 7 November 2026 where we will fund raise for KidsCan. As the theme for the upcoming FIKA luncheon is Alice in Wonderland, prizes will be awarded to the best dressed patrons. Till then, let's continue spreading love, kindness, and compassion through our community events. Wishing you a truly blessed week.π₯°β€οΈππ»
