This week, the Ōtorohanga District Council staff brought the magic of Christmas to life through the power of song, delivering heartfelt carols to spread joy in our community. Led by the talented Theresa and Adelle, the team showcased their musical talents and festive enthusiasm in two special performances.
On Monday 9th December, staff visited the residents of Beattie Home, filling the air with holiday cheer and smiles. Although small, the casual foot and finger tap was a gesture well received by the staff. The sound of classic Christmas carols echoed through the halls, creating a festive atmosphere and reminding everyone of the season’s spirit of kotahitanga. The residents were delighted by the thoughtful gesture, many singing along and reminiscing about their own favorite Christmas traditions.
The festive celebrations continued on Tuesday with an impromptu bracket before the monthly Council meeting. The meeting room transformed into a space of joy and camaraderie as elected members paused to enjoy and join in the performance.
Staff members Theresa (our amazing pianist) and Adelle, who orchestrated this “council choir”, expressed their gratitude to the staff for their enthusiasm and participation. “It’s such a pleasure to bring smiles to others, especially during this time of year,” said Adelle. “Music has a way of bringing people together, and we’re so proud of our team for making this happen.”
This heartwarming display of Christmas spirit is a reminder of what makes the Ōtorohanga District so special.
