CLUB North Haven has provided a significant financial boost to the music program at North Haven Public School.
General Manager Tim Harris attended the school recently to present a cheque for $5000 on behalf of the club’s board of directors to students and band coordinator Mrs Skerritt.
“It was great to see so many kids enjoying the school’s music program,” Mr Harris said of his visit.
“Club North Haven have agreed to donate $15 000 over three years, which should see the program successfully continue for many years to come.
““This donation was made possible through Clubs NSW ClubGRANTS scheme, supporting local charities, sporting clubs and not-for-profit community groups.”
Mrs Skerritt said the funds would be a “fantastic” boost for the program.
“This kind grant from Club North Haven will help replenish old and broken instruments,” said Mrs Skerritt.
“It will also assist families by reducing the costs of the program.”
Other recipients of Club North Haven’s ClubGRANTS funding include Camden Haven Community Garden, Marine Rescue Camden Haven, headspace Port Macquarie and Mid North Coast Community College.
