£75 Raised On Street Day
According to the annual report of the Lyttelton subcentre of the Red Cross, £75 had been raised from the annual street day appeal and cake stall. Committee members of the sub-centre provided tea to blood donors during the Lyttelton visit of the blood unit. The meals-on-wheels service was now well entrenched in the port, the report said, and 22 drivers took turns in dispensing meals three times weekly. Parcels of clothing gathered from local residents had been given to the North Canterbury Centre for distribution to worthy cases. Contributions had also been made to the Vietnam appeal, nursing scholarship fund and the general fund. The sub-centre now had 82 financial members. The following officers were elected:—President, Mrs H. G. Banfield; vice-presidents, Mesdames S. E. Buchanan, R. K. Duckworth, J. Huston, H. Louttit: committee, Mesdames J. B. Collett, S. W. Blenkinsop, F. Demichelli. E. M. Donnelly, W. Farrar, J. Pryde, G. Voyce, Nurse M. Cheyne; secretary-treasurer, Mrs 0. Elder; auditor, Mr J. Thompson.
