  Richie Guy

  Richie became involved with Northland Community Foundation to support the development of the Waipu Endowment Fund which he believes will become one of Waipu’s treasures.  He says “I only wish we had had the foresight to establish this 30 years ago.  Had we done so funding recent projects like The Barn would have been much easier.  If Waipu has been good to you, you can be good to Waipu and leave some of your estate to the community.”
