Trimmers and sorters preparing for daffodil day were from left Colleen Rapley, Anette Wolvers, Marion Wall, Betty Lupton and Heather Lowenphal.
John Appleton’s team have plenty of daffodils ready for sale tomorrow.
Many were picked from Ian and Heather Wilson’s farm at Rangitoto and trimmed and sorted into bunches.
The sorters and trimmers are largely the team leaders who organise the street stalls that sell them for $10 a bunch as the year’s major fund raiser for the Cancer Society.
Otorohanga has five teams of daffodil sellers with retailers rotated throughout the day.
“They each run their own booth, their own staff, they are absolutely brilliant,” Appleton said.
About 25 volunteers are involved in the retail side of Ōtorohanga’s daffodil day.
Cancer Society Waikato/Bay of Plenty chief executive Helen Carter says it’s ‘mission critical’ as cancer diagnoses climb and a higher proportion of those diagnosed seek the charity’s support than ever before.
One in three New Zealanders will receive a cancer diagnosis in their lifetime and the Society is reaching about a quarter of these people across the Waikato and Bay of Plenty regions – which covers the central North Island down to Taumarunui.John Appleton’s team have plenty of daffodils ready for sale tomorrow.
