27 June – Update

The Waikato Deafblind Support group had a wonderful day at Clock World and Longitude Café in Ohaupo.

Peter and Christine were fantastic hosts and treated us to fascinating facts about the clocks, and we shared a lovely morning tea.

A light pink-coloured cake decorated with icing, sprinkles and the words "Hellen Keller Day" in red icing.
