Our Great Kiwi Morning Tea!
Great Kiwi Morning Tea from Kieren Moriarty on Vimeo.
Our Great Kiwi Morning Tea was amazing! We raised $820 for our kiwi, our National Icon. A huge thank you to Mrs Carr, our amazing organiser; Dom, our inspiration; Rimu Whanau, our genius bakers; and Parkvale School, our amazing supporters. You all made it happen!
Today we received an email (including a thank you video) from Kiwis for Kiwi.
Best regards,
Sarah
The best thing about the video is that Sarah Nutbrown shared that our $820 will protect eight kiwis for a year. Wow!

Great Kiwi Morning Tea Tomorrow!
Tomorrow is the Great Kiwi Morning Tea. Rimu will have a cake stall. Baking will cost from 50c to $2 (depending on the item). All the money is going towards helping save the kiwi: “to help protect kiwi and the places they live. Because we can’t imagine New Zealand without kiwi.”
Here's a preview of our wonderful goodies for tomorrows bake sale. So many choices and I think there's more to come. Thank you to our great Rimu Whanau for their efforts, everything looks delicious.
