150TH ANNIVERSARY
The Lions Club is celebrating the 100th Anniversary this year and all branches have been tasked with performing a community service in their area.
The Wellsford Branch has been approached to help upgrade the chapel and cemetery.
This has been a monumental task for the Trustees and locals over many years so it is with much appreciation the Trustees request has been accepted.
In very short time these wonderful people will make preparations to tackle the jobs needed as soon as the ground firms up and the weather improves.
Details for the 150th are yet to be finalised but the programme will likely run as follows:-
Church service at 1.30pm 31st December 2017 (Peter Brookes officiating)
Afternoon tea at Wharehine Hall roughly 3pm (caterers will be the Casci Family)
We hope visitors attending the service will spend time to attend family grave sites or sit and view the beautiful Oruawharo River and surrounds. This is a time to reflect.
To help our caterers we would appreciate it if those planning on attending would make contact via the contact page on the website. Barbara Lane will reply to each email and record your interest.
The website will be updated as and when we have any more information so we ask that you visit regularly to keep up with what is happening.
Thank you and regards from
