SANTA TO RESIDE IN THE NEW WANAKA COMMUNITY HUB THIS CHRISTMAS
no hirinw g
WANAKA Written by: Gina Treadwell The Wanaka Community House Open Day was a huge success with hundreds of locals coming along to have a look. The building is gibbed, scaffolding has come down and painting has now begun inside – this wonderful community hub is now in its final stages of completion and it is all getting quite exciting! Bookings are being made for the hire of the hall with one of the first confirmed bookings coming from the wonderful Santa’s Grotto team who turned up en masse at the Open Day to present the Community House Charitable Trust with a very generous cheque! The Upper Clutha Community Christmas Trust runs a Santa’s Grotto week in early December for all our little local residents (and bigger ones too apparently!) with Father Christmas residing in luxury in a special Wanaka venue. This year the Christmas Trust has chosen to hold the Santa’s Grotto event in our new Community Hub. “It will be a tremendous venue to hold Santa’s Grotto in” says Yeverley
McCarthy, the Christmas Trust’s Chair. “Not only is it a light, new, wonderful space but it really will be the central hub for the community.” To date, the Wanaka Community House Charitable Trust has managed to raise close to $3.1 million of the $3.8 million build cost. With $700,000 still to go the Trust is enormously grateful to the Santa’s Grotto team and other local groups for their recent generous donations. There is still some way to go and so if there is anyway you as an individual, group, or business is able to help contribute towards this community asset we would be very appreciative. Donations can be made on our website www. wanakacommunityhouse.org.nz. or for more information please call Gina Treadwell on 027 544 6235.
