Mary BONHAM Obituary (2024) - The Press
Keely O'Grady & Sir Tipene O'Regan
There were 12 teams in total, with 'Quizteama Aguilera' taking out bragging rights.
We would like to thank Sir Tipene O'Regan, who has graciously loaned Keely his beautiful Korowai to take to Ireland with her. His Korowai represents Aoraki Mount Cook and Te Waipounamu and Keely has been honoured to showcase it's significance on the world stage!
Some great prizes were won; however, we still have the
'Mega Raffle for Keely' going - $5 a ticket or 5 tickets for $20.
PRIZES INCLUDE: Dental Consultation Voucher, 32" TV, 6 Hampers, 4 Bottles of Wine and a bottle of Whiskey.
Great to see so much support for Keely on Sunday and we want to Thank all those who sponsored the event and donated their time, effort and prizes to support her too.
