International Committee Dinner

Healthy in the Hutt 2025
Despite a number of pull outs from this year's Healthy in the Hutt, the event went really well.  We had about 18 exhibitors who all had amazing interactive stalls.  Crowd numbers were good and the atmosphere was amazing.  Also feedback from the exhibitors suggests they are all keen to come again next year.

"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference."
