Hi Friend

Hi Friend

This has been my passion project for the last 7 years ...building a Visitor Centre to allow regular visits to the oldest building in Wellington, built in the early 1850s by the first settlers, whose Arrival in 1840 we commemorate on Wellington Anniversary Day January 22nd. See Facebook "Christ Church Taita Visitor Centre"


The tiny church watches over the graves of the same settlers and their new friends, Maori as well as Pakeha, a symbol of Peace in an angry violent world



A number of people said it couldn't be done and refused to back it. It involved raising $400,000 in difficult times for building .. . We were dogged by Covid, advancing age and other problems. But HEY WE DID it!



Moral of the story: Have faith and IT WILL HAPPEN.



CHRISTMAS JOY TO YOU AND YOURS

Currently Wellington, Upper Hutt, Lower Hutt and Porirua are under level one water restrictions. Wellington residents are now being urged to store an emergency water supply over the holiday period as the capital could face the possibility of severe water restrictions.

What you need to know:
- Sprinklers can only be used every second day at this stage in level one restrictions.
- Wremo recommends households have an emergency supply of at least 20L of water per person, per day for seven days (140L per person). Wellington residents can buy 200L water tanks from their local councils for a discounted rate.
- Wellington Water is preparing with emergency agencies for level four restrictions, which would ban all outdoor water use and reduce indoor water use by up to 50%.

Wellington Region Emergency Management Office (Wremo) regional manager Jeremy Holmes said storing water should be a priority over the Christmas and New Year period.
"You can store water by cleaning and re-using plastic bottles, using larger water containers from hardware stores or installing a 200 litre household emergency water tank available through your local council."
He understood finding space in apartments could be a challenge, so he encouraged people to get creative and take measures such as storing containers behind the couch, under beds or in the back of cupboards.
