COMING EVENT:
The Mapua Big Night Out Clothes Swap
Saturday July 25th, 7:30 PM, Mapua Hall
Ladies, get some friends together for the inaugural Mapua Big Night Out Clothes Swap. We promise you a fun and social evening, a new wardrobe, some mulled wine and supper and a chance to help us fundraise for some local environmental projects. Tickets cost only $20 and are available from Tessa Maes, Zoom Hairdressers, Mapua Country Trading and Mahana School.
Earth Hour was a success
Earth Hour was held on Saturday March 28th. We showed the film Solar Energy: Saved by the Sun and then switched off the lights for a "solar supper". This was a feast of local produce by solar light with a demonstration of solar technology.
Recent events: OPEN SPACE MEETING held Saturday February 28th, at the Mapua Hall
