WESTERN NEWS Tuesday January 31 2017 11 News Community rallies behind St John on fundraising day RICCARTON residents have been reaching into their pockets to support St John. Bunnings Warehouse Riccarton was one of many across the country to hold a barbecue for the charitable organisation recently. All funds raised from the Riccarton branch went directly to the St John Youth Cashmere Division. The amount of money raised could not yet be released. St John South Island region fundraising and marketing manager, Debbie Pipson, said all funds raised will go directly into helping the local community. “Our St John volunteers work tirelessly to help us save lives and change lives, and they couldn’t do it without the generosity and energy of local supporters like Bunnings,” she said. Bunnings Warehouse Riccarton complex manager Morgan Walker said the barbecue was a way for the community to show their appreciation for the work done by local volunteer emergency services. Family activities, fun games and entertainment were also held throughout the fundraising day. GOOD CAUSE: Bunnings Warehouse Riccarton team members Ali Kouzehgari and Zinan Bennett. Zonta garage sale to boost charities A GROUP of women have spent six months collecting items for a garage sale – with the proceeds to go to charity. Zonta Club of Christchurch South will hold its annual summer garage sale on February 11 with children’s toys, preserves, furniture, ornaments and linen among some of the items for sale which will be held bordering the village green on Dyers Pass Rd, Cashmere. Club president Sue Clark said the women have been busy collecting and making items to sell. “It is a lot of work but well worth it,” Ms Clark said. Members family and friends have helped by donating items as well. “It’s a white elephant sale, really, with a huge array of goods, all in good order and all donated to us by friends and families. This sale is an annual event . . . and it provides us with a great start to the year.” Funds raised are all distributed to the club’s chosen charities. “We have a number of very worthwhile charities which we support and it is incredibly satisfying to be able to make substantial donations to these groups. Next up on our activities list will be a visit to the Broadfield Garden on February 19, and tickets to this are still available to the public.” The Zonta Club of Christchurch South is part of the national Zonta network which in the last four years has donated thousands of dollars to the Sophie Elliot Foundation, principally for the publication and distribution of the book Loves Me Not. A copy of this book is given to every student who participates in a course jointly delivered by the foundation and the New Zealand police, and on offer to all New Zealand secondary schools. Ms Clark says Zonta aligns itself well with the Sophie Elliot Foundation because Zonta’s prime aim is to improve the status of women worldwide. The Zonta Club of Christchurch South is well-known for its annual Zonta Sports Awards which attract competition from top athletes and sportspeople from the secondary schools in the region. For more information about Zonta or tickets to the Broadfield Garden tour, email christchurchsouth@zonta.org.nz or phone Sue 344 2141.
