p Last week volunteers from the Returned Services Association began selling poppies to remember the dead of past wars and fund RSA welfare services. Volunteers from the women’s section of the Northern Wairoa RSA refused to let wet and windy weather get in their important work as they began selling poppies around Dargaville. Ruth Oliver and Lyn Harnett visited the Kaipara Lifestyler office where staff member Greer Mackay was only too happy to show his support by buying a poppy. On Friday the contribution of our service personnel over more than a century will be remembered. A list of Anzac Day events in the Kaipara district can be found on page 7.
