🚗 Own a Classic – Make a Difference 💙

The Rongotea Lions Club Car Show has been gifted something very special. A beautiful 1969 MKII Jaguar has been generously donated, with the proceeds going to support Arohanui Hospice. 

This stunning classic comes with:
• Power steering & automatic gearbox
• Original Old English White paint
• Ambla trim faux leather interior
• Timeless luxury, style, and history on four wheels

The car has been part of many wonderful adventures and is now ready for its next chapter — and by purchasing it you’ll also be helping support families in our community receiving care through Arohanui Hospice. 

👉 Bid now on Trade Me:
Listing #5811465027

Every bid helps make a real difference in our community.

Please share this post so we can help this beautiful Jaguar find a new home while raising as much as possible for hospice care. 💙

🌻 Sunflower Fundraiser Update – Cancelled 🌻

Unfortunately, due to the recent storm our sunflowers have been badly damaged and destroyed. As a result, we have had to cancel this weekend’s sunflower fundraiser.

We’re incredibly disappointed, especially knowing how many of you were keen to support Hospice through this initiative.

Thank you so much to everyone who showed interest and offered support — we truly appreciate our community getting in behind us 💛

We’ll regroup and look at other ways we can continue raising funds for Hospice, and we’ll keep you posted.

🌻 Rongotea & District Lions – Sunflower Fundraiser for Hospice 🌻

This Friday evening (20th) our Lions members will be out picking fresh sunflowers in preparation for Saturday 21st from 8.30am at the Te Kawau Rec Centre.

🌻 Pre-orders are strongly encouraged 🌻
Knowing numbers in advance helps us make sure we pick enough flowers — and avoid waste. If you’d like to secure yours, please call 027 239 2311 to place an order.

We will have a trailer load available on the day, but once they’re gone, they’re gone — so pre-ordering is the best way to avoid missing out!

All proceeds will be donated to Hospice 💛

Thank you for supporting Lions and helping us support our wider community.
