New Year, new calendar of events at TOLO
Happy New Year to all those lucky enough to live in our particular piece of paradise and also to our very welcome visitors as well. Hoping you were able to share good times with family and friends over the festive period and now – a new year to get to grips with.
At The Old Library Ōmokoroa, we kick off our new calendar of exhibitions with the amazing Janet Barratt showing more of her distinctive style of paintings and photographs.
The History Group have an amazing array of artefacts from ‘back in the day’ – check it out and see if you have one of Grandma’s treasures in your cupboard. Their new book ‘Ōmokoroa Farming Families 1900 to 1970’ shows how the peninsula has developed over the last decades. Grab your copy for $45 – it’s bound to become a classic.
The Mindfulness sessions will re-commence on 8th February with the lovely Jane. Drop the children off at school, come on down for a soothing cup of herbal or fruit tea, relax, and learn to listen to the birds again. (The children bit is not obligatory!)
Ōmokoroa has evolved from a farming community into a vibrant, diverse and modern place to call home. The recent infrastructure improvements will support the residential, business and retail developments taking place. However, it is vital that we continue to work hard to preserve our wonderful community spirit.
Get to know your neighbours, organise a pot luck dinner or picnic, say hello to everyone you meet on your daily walk or bike ride. Grab a great coffee from Bruce at Running Bird, get your newspaper from Saed at the Dairy, then sit back and enjoy the sunshine. We look forward to welcoming you to our space in McDonnell Street and sharing the artistic and creative skills alive and well in Ōmokoroa.
