North Canterbury Lions support the Westpac Rescue Helicopter
Members of the Amuri and Hawarden-Waikari Lions Clubs visited the base to present a cheque for $15,000 in support of the Westpac Rescue Helicopter, raised at the Duck Race Fundraiser in April. Members are pictured here, including a young past patient, with Crewman Mike McLintock.
