Christmas decorations available for a koha
Dear neighbours, we have some Christmas decorations available to a good home, and they include: big and small red ribbons with wire to attach; reindeer and a sled; one wreath and lots of pieces of artificial tree; pinecones with wire to attach; and crystal garlands. They are only available as one lot and must be collected - please bring some large boxes to take them away in. A koha would be magnificent, as this donation would contribute to the maintenance of Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga's prized property, Old St Paul's in Thorndon. Please contact ospfunctions@heritage.org.nz if you would like these, and we'll contact the first person who does so! Happy New Year!
