$10,000 for health centre

The West Otago trust raising funds for the new health centre in Tapanui could be as much as $10,000 closer to its $1.5 million goal after last weekend's beer festival in Tapanui.

West Otago Health Centre Trust fundraising committee chairwoman Annalie Downie said the event was a big success, with all 300 tickets purchased, and she was expecting to add between $8000 and $10,000 to the trust's coffers.
