Once again, it was that time of the year at Totara Hospice when Hospice volunteers attended their end-of-year Christmas luncheon. This year, volunteers had the choice to attend on November 29 or 30. Mrs McCreath, Sophia Bebelman and Joshua De Guzman were there on the November 30 to distribute the Christmas parcels put together by 7LIS and 12LIS.
