Wednesday night saw an amazing fundraiser for the Raglan Community House at Rock-It Kitchen on Wainui Rd.
The whole cafe was packed with wonderful Raglan folk who wanted to support the work of the Raglan Community House and to say that Rock-It was rocking wouldn’t be an exaggeration.
The whole event was the brainchild of Rock-It chef, Sascha Phillips and she was wonderfully supported by her boss Sarah Kay and the huge generosity of all the staff who donated their time. The food was first class and everyone was treated to a drink on arrival, followed by a beautiful three course meal.
Julie Hanna conducted an auction of items and services given by the community with her usual verve and humour and had the crowd not only bidding and out bidding each other, but falling off their chairs laughing as they did it.
The noise and good will of the crowd was a pleasure to see and as Mike Rarere, the Community House Manager commented; “It is wonderful to realise that the House is so highly valued by the community that people want to help out in this way and so good to see them having a great night out as they do it”.
Thank you to the many supporters and donors to this fantastic event.
