On 24 June 2015 Multicultural Tauranga held its first Volunteer Awards Night to recognise the contribution of people who have gone the extra mile to help provide the services the organisation offers. The date was chosen to coincide with New Zealand National Volunteer Week, i.e. the last week in June.
President Barry Reid acknowledged each person's individual efforts and handed them a small gift.
The event took place at the TECT Theatre, a venue that would have lent itself perfectly for a red carpet to be rolled out for the volunteers to receive their award. However, as no roll of red carpet was to be found, a small, symbolic patch of red carpet for each person to stand on had been provided. Everybody was also given a glow stick to be made into a wrist band because it was their night to glow and shine.
An interesting icebreaker game was guessing Who's Who from baby photos. Some faces were easy to identify, others proved rather challenging. Yet all caused a lot of fun, and so was the entire event.
