SCERT Emergency Hub Opening Event

Julie Tobbell from Somerfield Residents Association

We welcome you and your families to join us next Friday 13th April for the opening of our Emergency Hub at St Marks Church / Hall in the car park area.
Please see the full flyer for further details - join this event page and be updated for further info closer to the event.
For example: We have received confirmation today that the Cashmere High School Jazz band is unfortunately unable to perform related to the tragic passing of Tom Fastier (a Year 13 CHS Student who was part of the band apparently). Our SCERT Committee wishes to pass on our sincere thoughts to the band members and Tom's family members / friends affected by his tragic passing last week.
Otherwise this event hopes to be a great way to connect further with our community groups and local families prior to the start of the April School Holidays.

If you can assist with this event or any of the Community preparedness packages in plastic bags to be distributed to all local families - we would also love to hear from you please!

Thanks to those of you who have already offered to assist!!

Otherwise come and find out how our SCERT committee has best decided to make our community more connect and prepared for any future emergency situation!! We never know when SCERT may be needed!!?!

Regards Julie Tobbell.

Response to regifting presents

Gordon from Halswell

My mind tends to wander:
I do not see any problem with regifting it back to the person who gave it, they obviously liked it. In fact, that might work out well as you buy the present you want, then gift it to someone you know who will gift it back.
Perfect, no decision needs to be made about Xmas presents
