GALA DINNER CELEBRATION ACKNOWLEDGING 10 YEAR PARTNERSHIP HUGE SUCCESS

On Saturday 29th of October 2022, the Greenlea Rescue Helicopter Gala Dinner was held at the Hilton Lake Taupo to celebrate 10 years of partnership with Greenlea Premier Meats.

The evening was steered superbly by MC Brian Kelly from NZME, and Auctioneer Simon Short from Property Brokers drew out competitive bidding on the live auctions. It was a fantastic evening celebrating special relationships and the help that allows
