This evening was a great success, showcasing the Rotary Club of Fiordland and raising over $19,000 last night for rescue services in our area, which was made up to $20,000 the next day by a local Rotarian. Thank you all, it was a great effort.
Special thanks go to Glenda Chalmers and Margaret Sheppard for their efforts in co-ordinating the evening. Many thanks also go to Sarah Greaney, Brian Sheppard, Jill Tauri, Don McFarlane, Mark Dowling, and other Rotarians and helpers.
We acknowledge a huge thanks to our sponsors whose generosity and support made the purpose of the evening possible and demonstrated what a strong and caring community we are.
Brian Dagg spoke really well and the Te Anau Club did a great job catering to a capacity crowd and including dessert for us at the usual price per person.
‘It was an inspirational evening and we worked together successfully to make a difference to our local rescue services.’
