The interpreters/communicators will be situated at polling booths in the following areas:
- Mangapai at the Mangapai Hall, corner McAlister and Mangapai Roads
- Raurimu School, Onerahi at the Raurimu Avenue School, Raurimu Avenue

Minnie’s presentation on Be Accessibe was truly inspiring. disappointing to see those most in need of ‘enlightenment’ were absent….a great build up for the RWC and way beyond so up to those who did attend to be vocal! and spread the Be word!
