WHATS ON - we need YOUR help.
So now that we have a calendar it would be FABULOUS to add some events for visitors. You can see here or at https://www.laketekaponz.co.nz/whats-on that we have added Ice Hockey games and practice nights - visitors love local events.
To include your event, please email us with the details. It would be great to add some more events on there, golf matches , functions, races etc etc, maybe a special event that you are planning at your accommodation Even if you're not sure send it through and we'll check it out.

We welcome you to pop in and say hi - at this stage we are open 11am-2pm Tuesday and Thursday. We hope this will be a warm and welcoming 'hub' to support our community in these challenging times. The community hub will also be a place to share ideas and make plans for activities and events for the months ahead. We welcome your ideas, skills and expertise!
Among the projects brewing is small group gatherings through Neighbourhood Support, a fun and informal way to connect over the month of June. More details to come.
Please remember that there is help available if you are struggling – contact Penny at mackenziecommunitytekapo@gmail.com, call into the community centre at 8 Simpsons Lane or call the welfare line 0800 24 11 11.
Take care, be kind. #tekapotogether
