Cancer Society needs your daffodils

Cancer Society Wairarapa centre manager Jeanine Gribbin

It might look like plenty of colour in the photos, but the Cancer Society is still in need of more daffodils to fulfil their fundraising orders.

Volunteers were hard at work yesterday bunching daffodils at the old Tool Shed premises on Dixon St in Masterton, in preparation for Daffodil Day this Friday.

Cancer Society Wairarapa manager Jeanine Gribbin said they have been "really really pleased" with the response from the public for spare daffodils, following a story in the Wairarapa Times-Age on Saturday.

But more are needed.

"We've got a lot of orders - we have 1200 bunches to deliver.

"It's just been the weather this year.

"We still want more if people can bring them in."

It is also her hope that people will sign up to be new names for next year's effort.

Last year Cancer Society Wairarapa raised $13,000.
