How a grass roots
community dinner on Xmas Day really comes together -in Upper
Hutt .
For nearly 15 years volunteer Rimutaka
Lions member Joe Cochrane spearheaded Room at the Inn
arrrangements for the community dinner that enabled lonely
people and families in Upper Hutt to get together for a
Xmas Dinner and those needing meals on wheels to be supplied
.But long serving Joe Cochrane died earlier this year and
his son Andrew Cochrane is part of the catering team for the
day . Rimutaka Lions Club member Lorraine Brooks has been
coordinating the flood of volunteers who will help prepare
the food on Xmas Eve , help serve it on Xmas Day and clean
up on Boxing Day . Many individuals and some businesses such
as Pak n Save Upper Hutt have provide help or supplies for
the day alongside fundraising by the Rimutaka Lions Club .
People are welcome from 11 am at the Hapai Club , 879
Fergusson Drive , Upper Hutt .The team will aslo deliver
Meals on Wheels on Xmas Day from the same source.
