Ninety-nine e-mails later this edition of the (grandly named) Houghton Valley Community Newsletter went to 202 households.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some had a sense back then that people living in this special part of Wellington wanted to connect more with each other, build community, and together address a range of concerns about, e.g. our environment, traffic and damage caused by southerly storms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The group e-mail grew fast and in January 2011 morphed into the newsletter.
