The restoration of the Mangawhai Heads Volunteer Lifeguard Service clubhouse got a shot in the arm last week when Mangawhai Lions handed over a cheque for $8500.
The money was raised from the sale of the Lions 2025 calendar, which featured scenes of Mangawhai captured in a photography competition held last year. Lions president Karen Carter (red shirt) said the calendar had received a lot of support from the community and it was “a privilege to gift the money to such a worthy cause.”
Surf club chair Jess Costello (white shirt) said the surf club was extremely grateful for the funds and was looking forward to giving back by volunteering at the Lions Food and Wine Festival on March 15.
“The surf club has a lot going on and we’ve still got so much ahead of us, so we really appreciate all the support from the Lions and the community. Thank you.”
