Tears of joy from 'Mrs Lavender'...aka Shona Hammond-Boys, when the news broke that the Opotiki Children's Art-House would receive operational funding from the Kiwifruit Growers Community Endowment Fund, to enable the volunteers who share their time, talent and skills with over 200 children each week, to continue in their efforts, and not have to dip into their own pockets to fund the power account, materials, water usage etc.
