Christmas lunch for Make-a-Wish

A gourmet mid-winter Christmas lunch has been organised to raise funds for Make-a-Wish NZ. The event takes place on June 15, 12 noon–3pm, at the newly renovated Red Beach Surf Club.

Well-known local social media guru Pauline Stockhausen is the MC, and keynote speaker is author Yvonne Godfrey, who has been working with young people for around a decade.

Yvonne will share her insights into parenting in a talk called Building Stronger Families that Work.

There will be a range of items up for grabs at the silent auction. The event is organised by Bayleys Real Estate, which has partnered since 2015 with Make-a-Wish NZ – the charitable organisation that grants wishes to children between the age of three and 17 years who have life threatening medical conditions.

Tickets cost $80 and are available from Mel Buckley, email mel.buckley@bayleys.co.nz or phone 021 495 361.
