This year's Healthy in the Hutt was the best attended event since our rotary club has been running it. We had over 30 stands and lots of people coming through seeking information and taking the opportunity to have their health checked. Even the sun had the decency to shine! A massive thanks to Mike, Paul and Chris Giles, Robin, Absie, Tony and Jenny Cornelius, my Paul and Brian Klee. They enabled the event to run smoothly by helping in the lead up to the event plus being there and helping on the day. A further thanks to all of you who donated goods for the draw. I had enough products to fill 2 baskets so we had 2 draws! Thank you Jaye for popping in to take photos. Thanks to Julia Milne who made the delicious chunky vegetable soup and to Countdown Upper Hutt for the rolls and boxes of fruit. Lastly, thanks to the staff at Walter Nash who helped us with the set up and then had a major clean up job after the event. This event makes a huge difference to the community and it's exciting to see a number of people who now come regularly each year. The cost to run this event to the Club is minimal thanks to the support of Countdown, Julia and the Walter Nash Stadium who provides the venue for free. Healthy in the Hutt which is run annually at the Walter Nash Stadium is an outstanding success in the way it informs people about health providers, wellness and keeping safe. It makes a huge difference. |
