    TALK UP TAIHAPE Taihape Community Development Trust December 2019 What a great year to be in Taihape The Taihape Community Development Trust works closely with community-led events and projects to create a more vibrant Taihape. Our town has a big heart and the Trust contributed to the fun and festivities with Gumboot Day, our amazing 125 Taihape Celebrations (including our annual Spring Fling), and of course, our annual Christmas Parade and Christmas in the Park. We supported new events including Animal Mask Making and a charity climb up Mount Stewart. Our youth were given expert training in project delivery as part of the inaugural Young Leaders Workshop. Work continues to provide opportunities for future leaders to learn and grow. Fund raising is a big part of what makes this town and events successful. Taihape’s businesses give much to the community. Just look at how many have Christmas messages in our special colour edition of the newsletter. If you are in business, part of a community group or just one of the many wonderful residents of Taihape, it is you who make ideas real with donations, sponsorships and generosity like that raffle ticket you just purchased. Thank you to our traders, community groups and YOU. Merry Christmas one and all!
