SEPTEMBER
2005
This month Danz Lawnmowing Services is funding the Snippets and
we thank Daniel for his support. Each month it costs $40 to produce
and deliver and it is appreciated when we don't have to go looking
for funding. We also acknowledge all of our readers who unasked
give donations from time to time. Thank you one and all!
FESTIVE LIGHTING!!
And while on the subject of money we were thrilled
to receive a letter from Central Energy in answer to our application
allocating us $3000!! Did you hear the whoops of joy when I opened
the mail? It made all the work worth while. Attached to this newsletter
is a list of all the subscibers so far and we are still hoping
for more. Elaine and Del have met with Albert James about all
the finer details of installation and storage of the lights and
we are about to make a selection and order them. A suggestion
has been made that we have a Lighting Up Party in December and
more about this later.
SANSON TRAMWAY
Recently Del met with Sarah Anderton and Tracy
Hunt at the Council to put in an application for funding for Selwyn
Sparrow's proposal for a commemorative plaque for the Sanson Tramway.
Selwyn has moved to Katikati recently so we have taken this project
up for him. If we are successful we should be notified quite soon
and then we can have the plaque made and installed on the site
of the old goods shed on the corner of Phillips St. and the State
Highway.
CEMETERY RD. WALKWAY.
And soon we will be running yet more raffles
and fundraising for the extension for our pet project the walking
track. We believe that we can apply to Transit N.Z. for funding
as they have a policy for a walkway from Cape Reinga to the Bluff
so why not go up Cemetery Rd? Once again nothing venture, nothing
win!! We believe that we have to fund raise $3650. We look forward
to the completion of the roadworks on Cemetery Rd.
There have been a few changes in the village recently.Weekend
Crafts have moved into the building recently occupied by Sanson
Fruit Supplies. Betty has asked me to thank residents for their
patronage over the years . If you wish to buy Gavin's famous honey
or his beautiful daffodils he can be found at the Friday Farmer's
Market in Feilding.
Bamboo and Teak have closed and also Dad and
Dave's second hand shop and we await with interest to see what
businesses move in.
SANSON CLUB
The Fashion Parade of pre-loved clothing at the
Club was very successful and raised $112 towards the Festive Lights
and also approximately $100 for Manchester House who provided
the clothing. So it was a good fund-raiser and a jolly good night
out. Many thanks to the organisers of this project. The Club is
holding a karoake evening on September 10th at 7 p.m. Entrance
is by gold coin and all residents are welcome particularly if
you can sing!!
SANSON WOMEN'S INSTITUTE
meet in the supper-room of the Community Hall
at 1 30 p.m. on Tuesday September 6th and all women are welcome.
This month the speaker will be from St John;s Ambulance. They
are a friendly bunch of women and are always keen to attract new
members.
COMMISERATIONS
Those of us who knew Dave Kinloch were distressed
to hear some time ago of his illness and subsequent death last
week and we send our heartfelt sympathy to his family. Dave has
been a stalwart member of the Sanson Ohakea R.S.A. and a real
gentleman who will be sorely missed by all his friends.
SANSON COMMUNITY LIBRARY
Our library Volunteer and organiser of the Children's
Holiday Programme, Carol Swan has been in hospital and is now
recovering at home and we look forward to better times ahead for
her. Take it quietly Carol and we look forward to you joining
us again when you are recovered. We are still missing a few books
from our previous Feilding consignments and if your child has
received a note about these please look for these books. For the
benefit of new residents the Library is free to all and we have
our photo copying service at 10c per A4 page and masses of jigsaw
puzzles.
Opening hours are
Monday 10 a.m. to midday Tuesday 2 p.m. to 4
p.m.
Thursday 10 a.m. to midday Friday 2 p.m. tp 4
p.m.
Saturday 11 a.m.to 1 p.m.
OUR ELDERLY
We heard today about one of our elderly residents
going to hospital by ambulance and after being treated having
to get a taxi to return home! We know that we have several of
our older folks who, unable to drive themselves are now reliant
on other people's goodwill to get to the Dr. or Hospital or even
to get necessary shopping and we would welcome feedback from any
residents who may be able to help out. We are aware that in towns
taxi vouchers are available through Age Concern but there seems
to be precious little for our elderly. We know of several residents
who go out of their way to help the oldies and if you have any
ideas or are able to offer help phone Del 3293674.
OPERATION COVER-UP
We were pleased tp deliver five blankets plus
forty peggy squares to Janet Wright the coordinator of this project.
The blankets and warm jerseys, hats and mittens will be delivered
to orphanages in Moldova before the northern winter. Many thanks
to those of you who have helped with wool etc.
SANSON COMMUNITY COMMITTEE
The next meeting of the committee will be held
in the Library at 7 p.m. on Wednesday the 28th September. All
welcome. At our last meeting the old perennial of roaming dogs
came up yet again and we ask residents to make sure that their
pets are confined to their own property or they may find themselves
faced with a big bill from the Animal Pound to recover their animal.
Dog traps are available from the dog ranger and this seems to
be the only way to enforce the dog by laws.
THIS MONTH'S SPONSOR
That's it for this month so please remember if
you need Daniel's services for lawnmowing etc. phone him on 3293549
or 027 601 2290 No obligation quotes given.
