HighLight: Carnival of Lights - volunteers needed
Te Omanga Hospice is thrilled to be the charity partner of HighLight: Carnival of Lights this year. The carnival was run for the first time last year and was such a success.
This year the Hutt City Council have a number of exciting pre-carnival events lined up, including Te Whiti Riser Night Walk, Night Picnic at Percy's, Glowga - Glow in the Dark Yoga and Energise the Night. The main carnival will run over Labour Weekend from 19 - 22 October.
We are currently looking for volunteers to help out at some of these events. If you would like to be at the heart of all the fun, gain experience at an event, and help your community then we would love to hear from you!
Please contact Janice Henson, Manager of Volunteer Services at Te Omanga, on 04 566 4535, Option 3 or email janice.henson@teomanga.org.nz.
Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?
