Rural Industry Leaders Event Raises $400,000
New Zealand’s rural sector has once again demonstrated its generosity, with the second Rural Industry Leaders Dinner, Debate and Auction raising an impressive $400,000 for the Rural Support Trust.
Rural Support Waikato is inviting farmers, growers, and rural communities to take a well-earned break and join us for 'Brunch on Us' - a series of all-sector, relaxed drop-in events across the region.
The events started two weeks ago and run through to Friday 19th September.
The events are a chance for rural people to come together, enjoy brunch, and connect with others who understand the unique challenges of life on the land.
"You don't have to register, and there are no speeches or presentations - just a warm welcome and some delicious food," says Wanda Leadbeater from the Trust.
Rural Support Waikato will be hosting brunch at local locations from Pollok to Tirohanga, with support from local networks and organisations.
