Update on our golf tournament
Wow, what a great day that was. We would have liked more teams but we still made around $11,500 which has now gone towards distraction packs to help distract children when having blood tests etc done at Pathlab. These are now available at Tristram Street and Rototuna Pathlabs in Hamilton plus a number of outlying areas.
These packs have so many things to help distract children of all ages and I believe, will be kept in the rooms where the tests are taken rather than in the waiting rooms.
Thank you to all those wonderful sponsors, those who donated prizes and particularly the players on the day. Without you all this could never have happened.

Poll: What do you think about our city producing school lunches for NZ?
One hundred new jobs will be created in Hamilton as the city becomes the lunchbox of the nation.
All frozen school lunches from Kaitaia to Bluff will be made in Pukete in a purpose built plant operated by The School Lunch Collective.
