Whareora Opportunity Shop
Many thanks to everyone who bought a RaffleTticket for the Patchwork Quilts which were recently donated to the Whareora Opportunity Shop. The Raffle was drawn at our Monthly Community Lunch last Friday and we have two winners – congratulations to Andrew (pictured) and Noeline. The Shop is open Monday to Saturday mornings, 10am-1pm. Look for the Blue House at 8 Athelstan Street, opposite Barrington Mall and close to the Medical Centre.
