Top breakfast served in Wellsford

RE/MAX real estate agents Kim Gordon and Katie Boyle swapped their sign boards for spatulas last month, cooking for hordes of hungry kids at Wellsford School.

Along with 14 volunteers from RE/MAX, they prepared more than 450 eggs and meat patties along with fruit platters for the lucky youngsters.

It was one of five breakfasts the pair of agents are holding to be themed along with the school’s “purpose statements”. Last month’s theme was whakaute or respect.

Kim and Katie handed out a personalised respect award along with $50 warehouse vouchers to two students who had distinguished themselves. The winners were Delilah Cooper and Connor Shepherd for their effort and kindness towards others.

For each property sold in Wellsford, Kim and Katie have also pledged to donate $500 to the school for equipment.

Illustrating the school’s need perfectly, on the day of the breakfast the school had been missing a shade sail that was damaged in a storm and due to be replaced. The heavens opened and poured on the breakfast crew, but it didn’t dampen their enthusiasm and by 10am all of the food had been eaten.

The next breakfast will be held on Friday, August 6, and will be celebrating aroha.
