REMINDER

Reminder that we have two special raffles planned and would love your support to help make them both fantastic!

Alice in Wonderland raffle – drawn at our club show

This fun raffle is all about sparkles and a touch of Wonderland magic! We’re asking each member to bring along a fun, sparkly item to contribute to the raffle. Anything bright, colourful or a little whimsical would be perfect.

Club Pride raffle – drawn at the National Show

Our second raffle is Waikato Cavy Club’s contribution to the New Zealand National Cavy Show in Taupō.

We’re asking everyone to bring along an item in one of our club colours – black, red or yellow. Your contributions will be combined to create a fantastic Club Pride Hamper representing Waikato Cavy Club at the national level.

This raffle is a great way to show our pride in being part of the New Zealand Cavy Council and to support our exhibitors heading to the National Show.

Thank you, as always, for your support, enthusiasm and contributions. Together, we make our club something to be proud of.

See you tomorrow!!!
