Topic: Rotorua Daily Post annual Christmas appeal
Enquiry
It's that time of year again and the Rotorua Daily Post is gearing up for its annual Christmas Appeal, due to launch this Saturday.
I was hoping you would be able to provide comment from the Mayor that includes:
- A call for Rotorua residents to support the appeal
- A few lines about the importance of the Salvation Army Foodbank in supporting the community
Thank you for your help and time.
Response
From Rotorua Mayor, Tania Tapsell –
“Christmas is a time for celebration in our community and an opportunity to show care and generosity.
“It has been a tough time financially for many families so contributing to the Rotorua Christmas Appeal is a meaningful way for those who are in a position to do so, to give back.
“The generosity we witnessed in Rotorua last year was heart-warming.
“Every contribution made to this Appeal has a very real impact on a local family and I hope our Rotorua community will show up again this year to help make someone else’s Christmas that little bit brighter.”
