Its nearly time........
Yes its nearly time for the Community Christmas Day lunch in Havelock North! 225 guests, 6 van loads of pickups, 70 kids presents... 35 volunteers and we're ready to go.
Its been an incredible journey to bring the largest ever Community lunch to the district but what an amazing team we have that's brought it all together. Huge support from the community as always and its a go!
On a separate note this year we are able to deliver a fresh Christmas meal to people in the Hastings district that are housebound or unable to get out for one reason or another. If you know of anyone that could benefit from this please message me on Neighbourly or email: info@ageconcernhb.org.nz and we can arrange that.
Merry Christmas to everyone.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
