Dojo Christmas Commitment to Giving for 2013

 

As we all look forward to the excitement and joys of Christmas with presents and Christmas dinners with our families and friends, there are many in our community who will be much less fortunate

 

As a “Dojo Family” we must do our share to bring happiness and joy to those whose Christmas will not be so happy or full of joy…

 

This year we have chosen the Lower Hutt Women’s Refuge to be our Dojo Christmas Giving Charity…..

They do amazing work for women and families in need and they are most deserving of our support…..

 

So please give warmly and freely this year everyone….
