To all the Neighbourlyhood and beyond, may the season bless you with all you need and some of what you want. May you always shine your inner light upon those who live in darkness and may your love be ever greater the the hate you may face.

I am not religious, but I am faithful. I believe we all are connected and without each and every one of us there is a piece missing. If you feel a piece missing, reach out. Make a call, send a letter, an email, a card or even a kind thought. You never know who you might reach and what piece you may bring in, or what peace you may send out.

Not just for one time a year, but all year and all time and not just for those who believe as you, but for all.

I noticed we are getting closer to 2000 members in Havelock North and a great 3675 in nearby neighbourhoods. How about a huge push to hit 2000 in Havelock North or 6000 in total? We are at 5555 in the combined areas.

Do you think we can make it by the new year? I reckon we can if we all try hard.

Check the map (It's in Invite) in your area and talk to your neighbours, family and friends. Ask them if they are members, if not offer to email them an invite or give them your invite code to join. Send your family invites. Post it on Facebook or Twitter or add it as a signature to your everyday emails or txt messages. If you give out Christmas cards you could even write it in the cards.

Lets see if we can hit the big numbers by 2017!
