$90,000 Distributed

Over the past ten years a total of $90,000 has been donated to local organisations by the Eastern and Central Savings Bank. This year the donations to a large number of organisations took place at a five-to-seven function held in the Archery Club supper room. This tenth year is also notable in that it sees the tenth presentation of $200 to the Heni Materoa Children's Home.

The children's home representative, Mrs H. Kemp, receives the cheque from Mr Dave Miller, who made the presentations. Mr Miller is one of the bank's trustees. Other representatives at the function included.
