Santa’s Grotto is back this year and set to open at First National Real Estate Te Awamutu, 35 Alexandra St, on Saturday, December 17, from 10am to noon.
The Te Awamutu Rosetown Lions Club project gives thanks to the community who donated toys before Christmas, however, they are looking
to help Santa by asking for Te Awamutu’s community support in donations for the project.
“As the Te Awamutu Business Chamber hosted their Black Friday Blowout street party we were asked to open from 5.30pm to 7.30pm on November 25. We had a queue right down the street — and subsequently used up all our toys,” says Janet Louw, of the Te Awamutu Rosetown Lions Club.
She said, “We have another week before Christmas, so we are asking the community for help in getting more toys for the children.”
Janet estimated that in that two hours, they went through 200 toys.
