S. Saviour's Mataura, Closing of the Paper Mill

The Mataura Paper Mill, one of the biggest employers in Mataura, closed 18 August.

St. Saviour's Mataura rented an unused shop for the day and invited everyone in the town to light a candle. The poster in the shop window said, "Come and light a candle for the mill and for your town.

We also gave a keg of beer to the paper mill social club on the day of the closing. Rev'd Bill Schroeder came to the club rooms to enjoy the company and wish the workers well as they went on to new things.
