Lashings of festive fare and a big helping of community spirit sent 180 guests home satisfied after Nelson s first Rotary Community Christmas Dinner. The diners, many of whom would otherwise be alone or had suffered hardship from Covid-19 fallout this year, sat down to a feast at the Beachside Conference and Events Centre in Tāhunanui on Christmas Day.
