Do You Have Two hours to Spare for a Fantastic Cause?
Hi there
It is only two weeks before this important collection – 2019 Pink Ribbon Breast Cancel Appeal – Friday 11 and Saturday 12 October.
Thanks to everyone who has volunteered so far – 82 of you filling 102 slots – a number of you doing more than one session 😊 😊 which is fantastic! Four more people have volunteered since I posted this - only need another 55!
I do more than 100 hours organising the Hastings area (my choice - a comment – not a complaint). Could you give two hours?
If you are able to, you could sign up at www.pinkribbonappeal.co.nz... or text, phone or PM me and I will find you a slot - Friday 11 and/or Saturday 12 October. If you aren't in Hawke's Bay, and wish to help, the web site would probably be your best option - or else the hot line - 0508105105.
If you are not able to assist, and that is understandable, we all lead quite busy lives – perhaps you know of a friend or family member who could stand up in your place. If you are looking after children that weekend, bring them along – it is a great way to teach them about volunteering and community.
If you have any questions or ideas, feel free to call or PM me.
Ciao for now

I am an odd number. Take away a letter and I become even. What number am I?

Step by step for a great cause!
Our amazing Hillary Hikers from Edmund Hillary Village showed their support for Bowel Cancer New Zealand's Move Your Butt campaign this month!
Sporting the bright purple and orange campaign shirts, these wonderful walkers hit the Auckland waterfront and marched from Mission Bay to Kohimarama, raising awareness for bowel cancer and the importance of early detection along the way.
