A lot slows down over the Christmas/ New Year period but support for the Tiona Chapel continued apace with $7,196.50 (plus pledges!) raised as part of the fundraising activities at Tiona Reunion.

Wendy Ballard, on behalf of the Tiona Chapel Fundraising Committee, acknowledged the “generosity of all those that contributed to, and participated in the successful Silent Auction” that was held over the week of Reunion, “Our thanks goes to all that played a part, the Auction was a huge success and would not have been possible without your help and support.”

The committee now turn their attention to the next event on the calendar: the Tuncurry Art Festival planed for the Easter weekend at the Tuncurry chapel. For more details, or to get involved, see the website or contact Festival Organiser, Vera Entwistle by email entwistlevera@gmail.com
