Archibalds giving $100k to charities<br />
WE ARE ON THE<br />
MOVE AGAIN...<br />
TO CELEBRATE 100 years<br />
of business in Christchurch,<br />
Archibalds Motors has decided<br />
to give money away rather than<br />
spend it on a party.<br />
Ten charities have been shortlisted<br />
for the chance to win part<br />
of $100,000 in the Drive for<br />
Good campaign, organised by<br />
the motor company.<br />
Members of the public are able<br />
to vote for the charity they think<br />
should get the money.<br />

making it to the top 10 “final”<br />

to the community.<br />

HELPING: Representatives from the 10 charities that have been chosen as ‘finalists’ in the<br />
Archibalds Motors Drive for Good campaign.<br />
executive John Fairhall said a<br />
staff member came up with the<br />
donation idea and others agreed<br />
it was the right thing to do.<br />
“Plus, they still had their usual<br />
Christmas party.”<br />
“Turning 100 is really<br />
the first major milestone<br />
that we’ve celebrated in a<br />
significant way,” he said.<br />
Voting runs for three<br />
months, with the winning<br />
charities to be named in March.<br />

Christmas<br />
dinner<br />

Fire rages, homes at risk<br />
THE MT Pleasant Community<br />
Centre will hold a Christmas<br />
gathering for people without<br />
family or friends over the<br />
holidays.<br />
Community development coordinator<br />
Kathy Bartlett said she<br />
did not want anyone who did not<br />
want to spend Christmas alone to<br />
have to.<br />
“I think we all know it can<br />
be an isolating time of year if<br />
you don’t have the cosy family<br />
atmosphere.”<br />
There will be a barbecue and<br />
guests are welcome to bring<br />
a shared plate and their own<br />
refreshments to the gathering.<br />
Ms Bartlett said everyone will<br />
be welcome.<br />
“We know that there are a wide<br />
range of people here. There are<br />
lonely, older people, but there are<br />
also recent immigrants that don’t<br />
have family here.”<br />
If you want to attend call the<br />
community centre to reserve a<br />
place on 384 1656.<br />
