END OF YEAR LUNCH 2024
For the second time we held our end of the year celebratory lunch at "The Family" at Whenuakite.
The relaxed outdoor rural setting, broad menu, great service and even the name suit us well as a large part of our success is built upon our good times together having a yummy meal, a laugh and swapping stories.
We were joined, again, by the "Friends of Paparoa Shakespeare Reserve" who volunteer on walking track maintenance and noxious weed removal at the adjacent headland.
Amy and Craig from "Second Nature" also joined us, for the first time, as our hard-working spray contractors and planting site preparers. And Andrea, Roman and Geordie from TCDC Coastcare took some time out of their busy day to pop in for pizza and coffee.
The absolute highlight had to be our friends from "Country Kids" visiting to sing us several waiata, present a hand-made card and some marmalade before they explored the nearby playground.
As we move into our summer recess, already we're looking forward to seeing each other again in February.
