Connecting, supporting, and giving back

Supporting the Community

 

Team Piesee from FN United (Rotorua) recently picked up their community BBQ trailer after another successful event, where they helped feed 150 people at a family fun day. The team is passionate about supporting the local community and is proud to offer the BBQ trailer for free hire for fundraisers or events. They also made great use of their home staging van during the event.

It was a day filled with generosity, community spirit, and some impressive prizes, all in support of the Cancer Society.

Cleaning Up Our Estuary Project

 

Christine Pryde, salesperson at FN Riverton, is actively involved in the Cleaning Up Our Estuary project, a partnership between the Rotary Club of Invercargill Sunrise, ICC, and Environment Southland. The initiative educates communities about how stormwater drains impact the estuary and ocean, promoting cleaner waterways.

 

Recently, Christine joined a session at Donovan Park School, where students learned how pollutants in stormwater drains harm marine ecosystems. Enthusiastic kids helped spray-paint blue fish symbols around drains, reminding everyone that only water belongs there.

With over 23 schools participating, keep an eye out for the blue fish and do your part to protect the estuary!
