Masterton Mayor Gary Caffell is shouting morning tea to recognise and thank Masterton’s incredible local volunteers.

The Big Shout Out will take place at the Trust House Recreation Centre on Thursday, 19 June, 10am to 12 noon, bringing together volunteers from across the community for a well-deserved celebration of their outstanding contributions.

Volunteers across every sector of the Masterton community are invited and should register by emailing: events@mstn.govt.nz by 5pm on Friday, 13 June.

"As Mayor of Masterton, I am in the privileged position of seeing first-hand the extraordinary work our volunteers do every single day," Mayor Caffell said. "These remarkable people keep our district running - they coach our kids, support our elderly, care for our environment, run our events, and step up wherever there's a need.

"Their selfless dedication and community spirit is what makes Masterton such a special place to live, work, and raise a family."

The morning tea provides an opportunity for volunteers to be celebrated, connect with each other, and hear from the Mayor about how valued their contributions are.

"Too often, our volunteers work quietly behind the scenes without the recognition they deserve," Mayor Caffell said. "The Big Shout Out is a chance to shine a light on these community champions and say a proper thank you on behalf of all Masterton residents."

"Whether you've been volunteering for decades or just started last week, whether you give an hour a month or countless hours every week - this event is for you. Every single contribution matters, and every volunteer makes our district stronger. Please come along and let us show our appreciation properly - you've more than earned it."
