*  Training for the Motu Big Bike Ride........

............................ and on that note.......

I have posted our Sponsorship Update for Save the Kiwi below:

and before we go any further I would like to let you all know of our link for online fund-raising.  These sites are very secure and I have used them myself, both in fund-raising for my cycle races and donating to others causes.  It's a great way for the kids to be able to raise extra money as whanau from out of the district can donate online.  Please encourage them to do so so that our kids can raise their $250 target for Kiwi!    The fund-raising website is:

(Copy and paste this to your address bar above if it won't open - I'm still learning how to create links).

 

Update on the Rowi Project Fundraising!

Hi again everyone!

I just wanted to drop you all a line and let you know about our recent fundraiser.

 

First things first:  It’s important that all whanau and friends are aware that we are fund-raising for Save the Kiwi – that the money that is raised by each child is going towards helping the Rowi Project and not to just ‘buy a cycle shirt’ for the kids.  The shirt is an incentive reward for the kids to get to their target. 

 

In regards to the target – we have had a bit of a misunderstanding in relation to this.  Michelle from Save the Kiwi wasn’t aware that so many kids would be involved and has decided that the target the kids need to aim for is now $250 rather than $50.  I know this seems like a lot of money, but it is a great way for the kids to get enthused about reaching a great target.  If every child in our class raises this much, they will have raised $5500 for the Rowi Project – this will go a long way!  Also, the more of us that have cycle shirts, the more likely it will be that we get the word out there to encourage others to help our national icon!  Please help students by asking all your friends etc.  Remember, 50 friends donating $5 each will help them reach their target and participating in fundraising for such an important cause will help them see the true value of being an involved citizen of New Zealand.

 

The top fundraising student will receive a full cycle clothing gear kit and goodies – amounting to over $250!  So get talking to sponsors today.  Each child now has a fundraising website – your child’s website is:

 

If you have any questions, please give me a call today.

 

Warm regards,

Amie Williams and Room Wha!
