A little History �
When I worked at the Riverton Community House (many years ago). I was handed a letter that was addressed to the Riverton Community Board. The letter was from a community member saying that we should have a community Christmas tree, although this wasn't in my job description at the time it was a letter I remembered. Then one Christmas I spotted my mum and her friend Doetie decorating a tree outside Supervalue. After a few wines � I decided that it was a project that I can take on. We raised enough money from Grants, Quiz Nights and the generosity of the community to purchase an Outdoor Christmas Tree, which now goes up on the 1st of December for the month of December. Because we are not a Charitable Trust I needed to create a funding source for any maintenance the tree needed. So the Ultimate Community Quiz Challenge was set up as the annual fundraiser to raise money for the maintenance for the Christmas tree and any other Community Christmas Projects ( which a few have been created)
The fundraiser funds the following projects:
�Anything that the Christmas Tree Needs
�The Magical Christmas Doors of Riverton
�Gifts for the Santa Mailbox
�10 Days of where is Santa Today
�Tree for the RSA Christmas Tree Display

I now work as a Real Estate Agent in the community and volunteer my time to the above projects. All money raised is accountable on a monthly basis. I welcome anytime if you have any questions/concerns or have any ideas you may have to continue the Christmas Cheer in our community. please give me a call on �021 41 23 53 or pop down and see me at my office 121 Palmerston Street, Riverton. All projects are community based, christmas themed and community driven. I can't thank everyone enough for all their support to allow these projects to happen.

To our Best Quiz Master Peter Templeton today at 11.00am your family in a private ceremony will be celebrating your life 💓

But from me, its time to say a huge thank you 4 helping me create a community project into something so special- who knew after all those Quiz Nights lol. You never hesitated the first time I asked you to do the 1st Quiz night and then it ended up being 2 many to count. I loved listening to your community contribution when you received your community award, your funny jokes, sharing the same annoyance 2 rattly microphones, people who couldnt hear the quiz questions. You lit up talking about wood chopping,your grandies, Mary-Ann, Dallas, family and Tuatapere. Won't be the same not driving past seeing you in your garage working away💔

Pete's best Quiz Night advise "If you dont know the answer you will just have to guess" 😂😂

Rest in Peace Pete it was an honor and privilege to met you & thanks 4 being such a great community star 🌟

PS I am glad you got round to making a door for the walk (although its bloody heavy)

As the Magical Christmas Doors of Riverton grows, I needed to find a safe space that was easy access to store everthing for 11 months of the year. The Flecks Hall committee have supported the community project and we rent a space from them that is absolutely perfect 👌

I would like to say a huge heartfelt thank you to the Riverton Community Op Shop Funding for supporting the application I put in to assist with the storage costs, it absolutely made my day receiving this great news. We are so lucky to have this op-shop that puts money right back into the community 🙌

A small Community with a large community heart ❤️- thank u x
