On Wednesday night Comis will address GABA's Fruits After 5 at Kamo. He will tell guests about his experience during and after the quake and the practical ways in which the community can help Christchurch. The gathering was to have been a forum to discuss community safety in the wake of concerns about rising levels of violence on K' Rd, but that has been delayed till next month's meeting on April 6 due to the quake and the stretched resources of the police. Fruits After 5 at Kamo, 382 Karangahape Road from 6pm Wednesday.
