It’s going to be a great event!” Lions President Allan Standing raved “What a way to celebrate Waiuku Lions 60+ years of community service! We’re rallying everyone to show their civic spirit by patronizing our charity gala for a worthy cause! It’s going to an evening of fun!”

Posting this to help Helen Polley:

Well… today I came across a lovely lady outside the Pukekohe Library who was trying to carry a bag & use crutches. I offered to carry her bag to her car for her. We chatted the short distance & I placed the bag in her car. Guess what!!! My car keys must have fallen from my sweatshirt pocket into her boot & all I know is that she lives in Awhitu!
I have left my name & number at the Franklin Art Centre & let the police know but maybe someone out there knows someone in Awhitu who has hurt her foot & is using crutches at the moment…😁Stranger things have happened.
Thanks

Does anyone know someone who hurt their foot and is using crutches currently?

Please help if you can. Thank you.
