Curtain Bank Working Bee

Weds April 24th

10am - 1pm

Town Hall, Supper Room

We need a pile of helpers to measure and sort our pile of curtains! We're getting ready to launch the curtain bank for winter 2013. If you know anything about curtains, awesome! If not, awesome! We'll put you to work sorting and measuring our second-hand curtains. Bring a plate to share for morning tea.

Can't make it but want to help? All winter long, we'll need volunteers to measure and also experienced handymen and sewing folk to install curtains. Help warm up those cold homes in Raglan.

For more info or to RSVP call WEC 07 825 0480 or envirocentre@whaingaroa.org.nz
