Some of our Leo Club members were treated to a morning tea from Temuka Primary School as a way of saying thanks for volunteering their time to help with their recent Quiz Night fundraiser and for helping out daily at their before school Breakfast Club.

What a treat. Thank you Temuka Primary for such a thoughtful gesture.
