CHRISTMAS PARTY<br />
We had a lovely turnout to the Children’s Christmas<br />
party at the beginning of December – fewer children<br />
than the past couple of years, but I am wondering<br />
if that is simply due to the fact that there are fewer<br />
young families living in our area now – a consequence<br />
of rising property and rental prices in <strong>Pare</strong>moremo.<br />
Many thanks to everyone who helped make the day<br />
special, particularly this guy!<br />
Santa also did a<br />
Christmas Day run<br />
again this year around<br />
<strong>Pare</strong>moremo in the<br />
prison Fire Engine, giving<br />
away lollies and waving<br />
to the children who<br />
came out to see him.<br />
CHRISTMAS GOODIES<br />
Thanks to everyone who entered in to the $200<br />
Christmas Goodie draw in December’s issue – Tane<br />
Dyer, our local community constable called in to make<br />
the draw and the winner was local Paula Carruthers.<br />
Congratulations!<br />
SANTA LETTERS<br />
Over 60 letters to Santa were received in the two<br />
letterboxes put out in December. There was a real<br />
mix – some children just wanted to wish Santa a<br />
Merry Christmas, others wanted to know how Santa<br />
managed to deliver presents all over the world, how<br />
cold it was at the North Pole and what the reindeer<br />
ate. One simply said “I will leave a cookie out for you”.<br />
Our apologies if your child missed out on a reply from<br />
Santa – some letters didn’t have return addresses<br />
and even with our Super Sleuth hats on, we came up<br />
empty handed.<br />
Many thanks to local<br />
Heather who co-ordinated<br />
the responses and made<br />
sure that the letters were<br />
posted or delivered.<br />
And thank you for<br />
encouraging your children<br />
to participate – it makes it<br />
all so worthwhile!<br />
CHRISTMAS CAROLS<br />
Our local Barfoot man, Andy Riley, organised<br />
December’s Christmas Carols at Sanders<br />
Reserve – we filled the back deck with singers<br />
and had a sausage sizzle BBQ afterwards.<br />
