Every month Te Whare Taonga O Raahui Pookeka Huntly Museum is putting one of their amazing volunteers under the spotlight.
They are energetic, enthusiastic community minded individuals who totally support Raahui Pookeeka Huntly.
February’s volunteer of the month is Denise Lamb! We have to start here – Denise has been the chair of the museum for 4 years and has packed so much into that time.
Many of you will know Denise – her day job is in the Huntly Library she loves to read books to our tamariki at the childcare centres at Raahui Pookeka and provide library material to our primary schools.
Denise’s happy place is her beautiful garden she is part of the Huntly Garden Circle and she grows gorgeous flowers which she shares with so many people.
Denise has been a driving force of the new museum she is a natural community collaborator who pulls together community leadership. She is so supportive of museum staff empowering them to grow small ideas into big ones. Even though Denise works full time and has a busy personal life she has put in 3 times as many hours as any other volunteer over the last 3 years. Her commitment has been absolute. Thank you Denise!!
Denise is a high energy positive beacon for Raahui Pookeka who has enabled the community collaboration to create our Te Whare Taonga / Museum – a wonderful long lasting asset for the region.
