Fantastic Community Initiative - Kids Kai Time - Totally supported by Wairarapa Chamber of Commerce!
In association with our Masterton lower decile schools and Street Youth Ministries, The staff of Aberdeen host up to 30 school children. I provide a delicious hot cooked breakfast and when it is time for them to be taken to school, they
provide them with a healthy 5-a-day packed lunch. All this is done, absolutely free, for the children. Michelle and the staff of The Aberdeen, donate their time in organizing, providing and running this monthly breakfast.
However, they need our support! They are looking for monthly sponsors, the cost is only $150.00 for the month and your business has the honor of being part of this fantastic inititaive.
Here at the Chamber we also put our money where our mouth is, so we are the very proud sponsors of 'Kids Kai Time' for April 2011.
Please have a read of the attached Corporate Sponsor Letter and get in touch with Michelle and the team at Aberdeen!
