St Vincents Beds--Need Manpower 13, 14, 15 Nov

The club received this request (DIK) for manpower assistance in relation to placement of beds in excess of needs at St. Vincents
Dear colleagues,
We have been informed that the next lot of 150 beds from St Vincent’s will be delivered to the hospital shortly. The date we have been advised, but which is still to be confirmed absolutely is Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday 13th, 14th and 15th November.
This is a big task but given our experience last year we know it can be done provided we have an appropriate number of people to assist. Our plan is essentially the same as last year – load as many directly into containers at the hospital and dispatch directly. We know that we have a container for East Timor BUT we will have to find the freight for this one as well as another for Tanzania which we anticipate will have the freight paid. This will account for about 100 beds and the others will go back to the store pending requests for their deployment elsewhere.
Can I appeal to you to get the message to your members for their assistance on these three days?
Can I ask that the Presidents who receive this note to be responsible to seek out names and days available and let me know these details as soon as possible so that we can sort out numbers appropriately. I realise that the days are normal working days and this will limit many members participation but if we get the message out as far and wide as possible, I am sure that we will get the job done.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Cheers, Bob (Donations in Kind - DIK)
Please see me (Ngaire) if able to help.
