Volunteers step up for charity<br />

Spending an hour<br />
volunteering on aSaturday<br />
morning might not suit<br />
everyone.<br />
However, those who<br />
collected for the Cancer<br />
Society’s Daffodil Day in<br />
Rangiora last Saturday say<br />
they enjoyed themselves.<br />
‘‘You meet such nice<br />
people,’’ says Rangiora’s Lyn<br />
Kean, who spent an hour at<br />
the collection table in the<br />
foyer of Mitre 10 in Rangiora<br />
last Saturday morning.<br />
Other volunteers, Mary<br />
Whyte, from Rangiora, and<br />
John Newton, from<br />
Mandeville, agreed.<br />
‘‘You are helping people<br />
and it is great to be able to<br />
give something back to the<br />
community,’’ John says.<br />
Daffodil Day is the Cancer<br />
Society’s most important<br />
annual fundraiser and is<br />
always held on the last<br />
Friday of August.<br />
The Rangiora collection<br />
day was held aday late<br />
because organisers decided<br />
Saturday would have ahigher<br />
traffic flow.<br />
The Cancer Society’s<br />
Rangiora transport organiser<br />
for volunteer drivers, Kiki<br />
Mitchell, says collectors were<br />
also outside Farmers, the<br />
Countdown supermarket,<br />
Couplands and the New<br />
World supermarket on<br />
