... FROM THE PUBLISHER ’ S DESK ... Your thoughts ? julie @ hdinews . com . au
Welcome to your monthly mag letting you know what ’ s going on in and around the Shire .
Our Finest this month is Connie Keith , p6 and 7 . Connie has led a fascinating life in the Hills . She has championed the running of the Balcombe Heights Estate for many years and may be known to you as the organiser of the annual Remembrance Service on site . Her tireless commitment to the estate and fund raising earned her a Special Mayoral Award for this work earlier this year .
Other selfless contributors to our community are the founders of The India Club , Shubha and Aksheya Kumar . They formed the club in 2004 , initially to connect in the community and to embrace the rich cultures of both India and Australia . Over the years they have grown into something far bigger . Today , they run seminars on domestic abuse
HDI and host meetings to help businesses get their name out there . Their popular Snack and Chat events were a result of the COVID lockdown , p9 .
As everything we need is always on the increase , it is great to see Second Hand Hornsby car boot and clothes swap scheduled for 25 June . You are sure to pick up some pre-loved bargains . Hornsby ’ s innovative council have also launched a platform for residents to list their own garage sales . More money in your pocket and less landfill – a no brainer !
Julian Leeser , p22 , talks about ‘ advocating for measures that will meaningfully and practically reduce the cost of living across our electorate ’. Alex Hawke thanks the Mitchell electorate for their continued commitment to the Hills Relay for life , held last month .
And that it ’ s folks , stay safe and warm , until next month .
