We are running this for Volunteer Week with Civil Defence both in Timaru and Waimate.
We wanted to acknowledge the work of the emergency services, especially given the rural nature of our communities. South Canterbury has always been known for getting out there and networking and supporting each other in times of need.

Joy Sylvia from Volunteering Mid & South Canterbury and Mark Bang are organising a public meeting to inform and potentially recruit people about the work of various volunteer organisations.

The format will be a casual get together with some light refreshments available so that people can hear a short presentation , view a small table top display and get to meet some of the people from each organisation. As you can see the venue is the Timaru District Council Chambers (access from Barnard St car park).

You can see we are using "the big snow" as the theme to get peoples interest.

Timaru: Remember the BIG SNOW! Timaru Civil Defence is calling the volunteer sector All interested people are invited on Monday 16th June 6.30pm – 8pm, to celebrate Volunteer Week. There will be a Civil Defence Operations set up to view, guest speakers from CD, Search and Rescue, Mountain Safety Council, Fire Service, St John, 4WD club and Red Cross. A chance to find out all about the workings of these organisations and if you are really interested, how you might fit in.

A finger food supper and refreshments will be provided. Come along, have some fun. Everyone invited.
