With an overnight change of Levels just before our event, we decided to go ahead with the takeaway version of the meals but with a twist. Ticket holders could collect their meal and decide whether to sit in the hall at appropriate socially distanced spacings, or take their meal home, to the park or to the beach. About 40 guests felt comfortable staying so the hall was buzzing for a few hours. The picture below shows preparation for the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"863\" height=\"371\" src=\"https:\/\/haewaihoughtonvalley.org\/happenings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/eba42d9a-dbd4-4319-af50-e354b01d62e1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-881\" style=\"width:1196px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/haewaihoughtonvalley.org\/happenings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/eba42d9a-dbd4-4319-af50-e354b01d62e1.png 863w, https:\/\/haewaihoughtonvalley.org\/happenings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/eba42d9a-dbd4-4319-af50-e354b01d62e1-300x129.png 300w, https:\/\/haewaihoughtonvalley.org\/happenings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/eba42d9a-dbd4-4319-af50-e354b01d62e1-768x330.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 863px) 100vw, 863px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The theme for the event was&nbsp;<em>Koe wai koe?<\/em>&nbsp;and the explanation unfolded as the evening progressed. The phrase translates as&nbsp;<em>Who are you?<\/em>, something we were wanting people to share with the people around them, but Level 2 did limit the amount of mingling we could do. But&nbsp;<em>Ko wai koe?<\/em>&nbsp;literally means&nbsp;<em>Whose waters are you?<\/em>&nbsp;and we wanted people to think about the river or stream that they could identify with from where they were born. We also wanted them to identify with the waters that come with the place they live in now, and for many of us that is the buried creek in Houghton Valley, that many locals are working towards recreating on the surface of the landfill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Enchanted \u2013 Art in a Garden<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The art show that was to happen this Saturday has now been postponed to Sunday March 14.

More information will be available closer to the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This work will take approximately a week to complete, however it is weather dependant. Work will take place between 7 am \u2013 6 pm. There may be teams outside of these hours setting up and disestablishing the site before and after work. Due to the gradient of the road this site is considered a high profile work site. Road works can be disruptive so please be patient while the work is completed. The road will be considered residents access only for the duration, so keep this in mind when travelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"649\" height=\"612\" src=\"https:\/\/haewaihoughtonvalley.org\/happenings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4e843263-6174-4fb4-ad9d-2203eff79cc3.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-883\" style=\"width:1200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/haewaihoughtonvalley.org\/happenings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4e843263-6174-4fb4-ad9d-2203eff79cc3.jpeg 649w, https:\/\/haewaihoughtonvalley.org\/happenings\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/4e843263-6174-4fb4-ad9d-2203eff79cc3-300x283.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 649px) 100vw, 649px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>(157 recipients, 92 opens)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March 5, 2021 We have had a few newsletters recently, but we are now back to the usual monthly one.
