Thank you from Ōmokoroa Toy Library
As members of the Ōmokoroa Toy Library committee, we feel fortunate and privileged to live in such a beautiful corner of New Zealand. With so many amazing outdoor areas to explore and activities for all the family to enjoy on the doorstep, there’s plenty to feel thankful for. But it’s the community in and around Ōmokoroa that makes us particularly grateful. The support the Ōmokoroa Toy Library has received again this year has been outstanding, and we would like to say a massive thank you to our community.
The Ōmokoroa Centre Trust kindly accepted our grant application, enabling us to extend our party hire range with the purchase of a larger bouncy castle, gazebo, and a selection of novelty cake moulds. The age we cater for has also recently been expanded, with toys suitable for tamariki up to nine years of age, plus we have been able to purchase more multicultural and te reo Māori toys.
Our pre-Christmas fundraiser selling The Founders olive oil was a huge success, selling over 90 packs. We appreciate all the support from the Ōmokoroa Market and the local community in helping raise valuable funds for the repair of existing toys and the purchase of additional toys for our library over the coming year.
We would also like to thank the fantastic sponsors of our open day back in March, who enabled us to put on a funpacked morning for local families in the community with a sausage sizzle, face painting, bouncy castle, and plenty of toys. And thanks of course also go to our members, for their ongoing support and contribution.
Next year promises to be another exciting year for Ōmokoroa Toy Library, with some fun events already in the planning and plenty of new toys on the horizon, so keep an eye out.
