Spring is on the horizon with the annual Daffodil Day fundraiser for the Cancer Society.

Bunches are $20 for 20 daffodils that will arrive in GY on Monday 23 August.

Every year thanks to such amazing generosity, Glenorchy has raised between $1500 - $2000 for the Cancer Society which directly supports care for people in our region.

If you’re keen on a bunch or 10 this year, please get in touch with Katherine Schuitemaker at katherinejamesschuitemaker@hotmail.com or text 021-929-972 before August 3.

The pool will open on the 1st December!
We will be using the same lock this year therefore if you haven’t returned your key to the Trading Post please be honest and pay for the new season and let the girls know your key number.
We don’t get a lot of funding for the pool. The cost of the keys pays for the heat pump to keep the pool nice and warm.
A big thank you to Scott and Naomi Coates, Kay Mason, Ann Margaret Aitken and Kyomi for their volunteer help last year.
We are looking for some more helpers this year for taking covers off early morning and put on in evening etc. Please get in contact with Naomi 0274649182 if you’re able to help.
