Mitre 10 mega community reno – march 2017
It’s back for 2017!
After the success of the Taupo Primary school makeover weekend in March 2016, we have again partnered with Mitre 10 MEGA Taupo to support a community group to undertake a renovation project next year.
The ‘Mitre 10 MEGA Community Reno’ weekend will occur in March 2017 with a local community group benefiting from up to $30,000 worth of goods and services to makeover their building and/or land.
Mitre 10 MEGA Taupo will provide the bulk of the materials required for the project, and 100% Lake Taupo Charitable Trust will cover specialised labour and other cash costs.
We’re looking for well-considered projects that can be completed over a 48 hour period, with a strong team of volunteers lined up ready to go. Your project should be well planned, and you will need to appoint a project manager from your team to lead the work.
We will support your project team, and provide the necessary materials and labour to a total value of $30,000.
