Housie Night at GEBC
Get your dabbers ready, it's housie night this evening so come along and join in for a fun evening.
If you can’t get here by out 6pm start you can join in just as soon as you can get there. We play 3 sets of 5 games before the super house, with a buy in after each round. The only stipulation is that you need to play at least one round to be able to play the super house.
A rough idea of timing ( depending on who is calling.) would be second round starting at 6.40pm third round starting 7.20pm.
Cards are 50c each and $1.00 for super house; so if you are playing one card it’s $2.50 for a set of 5 games. Plus we have dabbers for sale if yours runs out!

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
The gift of giving …?
The author of “The Gift of the Magi” is O. Henry, a pseudonym for William Sydney Porter.
“The Gift of the Magi” is a poignant short story about a young couple, Jim and Della, who are deeply in love but financially struggling. With Christmas approaching and limited money, each decides to sacrifice their most prized possession to buy a meaningful gift for the other. Della sells her beautiful long hair to buy a platinum chain for Jim’s watch, while Jim sells his grandfather’s watch to buy a set of combs for Della’s hair. In the end, their love and sacrifice underscore the true spirit of giving during the holiday season.

I would say the story underscores the stupidity of Xmas gifts … after all, it is not YOUR birthday, so how about donating something to good causes and otherwise enjoying being together?
