Celebrating our volunteers
Mangawhai Artists AGM on 20 June was an important time to acknowledge the wonderful volunteer work each week that makes things happen!
Especially as it is National Volunteer Week we were delighted to make three special awards: two to Committee members, Jan Grover, retiring treasurer and Grant Mitchell who has consistently worked to ensure the Gallery extension gets completed, and another to Kim Hamilton, willing volunteer providing technical and engineering support to the extension.
We celebrate these outstanding volunteers and thank all volunteers who make our community a better place.

Four happy volunteers had a busy day painting at the new Mangawhai Art Workspace - a small but dedicated team. The block work in the toilet and the majority of the exterior block work has its sealing coat on now and the verandah soffit is undercoated- looking good.
