On 29th March, a dedicated team gave up their Friday afternoon to assist My Plumbing Depot Feilding with their annual stocktake and, thanks to their hard work, were able to contribute another $792 to the funds - WAY above the $300 expected! A huge "thank you" to Wayne, Jeannette, Karen, Scott, Richard, Faye, Alex & Alison for their efforts. This will certainly be a great help towards the Halcombe ANZAC day.

This is greatly appreciated and saves us over $200. Thank you to Brad McDonald, Sales Manager and Brendon Ryan, Branch Manager of TradeZone, for your support and commitment to our project. A very generous gift.
