Last Month we hosted Another successful Night of the Hunter Dinner and Fundraiser!
A huge thank you to the entire team who helped make the evening such a success, and to
everyone who came along to support the SCI NZ Chapter - including all of our incredibly
generous donors.
I would especially like to acknowledge our secretariat, Sarah Hickey, for organising our
dinner and fundraiser, and Jess Halliday for the countless hours spent arranging sponsors
and securing their generous donations.
We were also honoured to have Nicole McKee and the Honourable Cameron Luxton
attend.
A big thank you to Hub Hall for measuring our trophy entries, and to Marcus Pinney,Brent Morgan, David
Keen, Simon Warbrick-Smith, and Darin Bedggood for helping on the booth and assisting
