2. At the Waikanae Hall unloading boxes and setting up of the sales tables from 10.00am to about 4.00pm on Friday 14th. Please report to Peter Creswell.

If you are able to help please email Andrew at president.kapiti@lionsclubs.org.nz advising him at which location you can help, the times you can help and he will forward on to Allan or Peter as appropriate.
