NEWS FROM THE HALSWELL COMMUNITY PROJECT
Happy new year to all our readers
As I write it is New Year's Eve and a good time to be reflecting on the year that is gone and thinking about the year ahead.
The thing that stands out for 2019 is how much generosity I’m seeing in our community. The Giving Tree (see in the right hand column) is a great example of that. The amount of giving and helping that I see on our Facebook groups is another.
I’m also aware that many people in this community also gift a huge amount of time, skill and energy to the community through their work in the many local community groups in Halswell.
Thanks to all of you for making our place a good place to live.
I’d also like to thank the people that have stepped up to help the Halswell Community Project in many different ways. Julie (who runs our coffee mornings), Paul, Mike, Ross, Dave, and Jason who have happily helped out whenever they are needed and Marilyn, who has been a mainstay at the Market, are all people who come to mind, as do the hardworking committee that sits in behind our wonderful staff: Kate, Keri and Lynne our newsletter editor. Thanks, too, to Judy and Ellen who run the Community Garden. It has also been wonderful to see people step up to run some new activities in the community.
Thanks to all who help make our place hang together and may it all continue and grow in 2020.

KIDS CHRISTMAS MARKET
Halswell Community Hub held its annual Kids Indoor Christmas market on Saturday December 7th. 20 children of all ages set up their stalls selling old toys and books, crafts they had made and even some baking. It was great to see the excitement and pride on their faces and the market had a wonderful vibe to it :-)
