One Mahurangi Business Association is hosting a thank you dinner on the 11th May to acknowledge the hard work from our local emergency services over a very busy summer.

The association wants to give a big community thank you to our emergency services, including local Fire departments from Warkworth, Snells Beach, Matakana, and Leigh, as well as local Police, St Johns, Coastguard, and Surf Lifesaving.

One Mahurangi Business Association manager, Murray Chapman explains the event's purpose further:

"As I sit here in the office the Fire siren has gone off once again and this means more volunteers rushing away from their work or families to help those in trouble.

This dinner is a chance for you to give back to our local heroes by either donating funds toward the running of the dinner or by putting your hand up to help on the night. One Mahurangi would like to offer the opportunity for the local community to serve our Emergency Services personnel and to make them feel our gratitude for all of the hours they put in. If you are keen to be involved, we look forward to hearing from you."

Support for the evening from local businesses has already begun and One Mahurangi would like to extend the invitation for involvement to the wider community.

Possible ways you can be involved and support the success of this event:

Help on the night with set up, prep food, service of food and drinks, clean up, and pack down.
