Mangere Otahuhu Local Board Volunteer Awards


by Janine Nillesen


 
It’s award night

Friends of the Farm were kindly nominated for a volunteer award from our Local Board.

It was a real honour to be recognised for the work we’re doing in Mangere Bridge.

Justine, Frances and I head off to the Otahuhu Community Town Hall, not really knowing what to expect.

We were pleasantly surprised to see so many local Mangere Bridge faces, who contribute to our community in many different ways.

All the guests were serenaded and snacked, greeted and thanked sincerely by Board members.

The MC for the evening was humbled by the efforts of community as he read out the awards and what they were for.

Our award was recognition, a certificate and three wee Kowhai Trees.

As these trees grow, so will our volunteering efforts and the group of volunteers taking care of Our Patch!
