Christmas blessings & next year's start date
Thank you to all those who managed to join us for our Playgroup Christmas party.
Katie will be missed but she is a huge gain for Ōtaki.
We start back on the 7th February
Tues-Thurs 9.30-11.30. A place where children can learn and grow with music and free play of toys and crafts and their parents/caregivers and get to know one another.
May you all have a blessed Christmas and new year, Vickie and the Playgroup team.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
