Enliven Pittwater is spreading the Christmas cheer with some festive fun throughout our village centres. A charming Christmas ‘yarn bombing’ attack has occurred at Park Street, Mona Vale courtesy of the Woolly Wednesday knitting group from the library. Council’s Social, Community & Economic Coordinator Melinda Hewitt said the knitting group have embraced Council’s program to enliven Pittwater by producing ‘knit graffitti’ as part of their plan to bring people together through the art of knitting and crocheting. Newport is playing host to a ‘Very Christo Christmas’ with a quirky art installation at the community centre. Ms Hewitt said the homage to the artist Christo would come in the shape of some large ‘Christmas gifts’ for the community to enjoy in the sculpture garden of the centre. “Residents will also see the attractive Enliven Pittwater flags that are adding some festive cheer along Barrenjoey Road, Newport,” she said. Avalon, Mona Vale and Newport Chambers of Commerce along with Enliven Pittwater are also supporting special Christmas window displays for shops throughout the villages. “We are encouraging residents to get on board, by spotting their favourite window display and tagging it #enlivenPittwater,” said Ms Hewitt. “Also expect to hear singers and musicians performing your favourite carols, along with some festive coloured lights that will pop up around the villages.” Ms Hewitt said the best way of keeping up-to-date on events throughout Pittwater is to download the free Enliven Pittwater app, available from the App Store and Google Play, For more information about the Enliven Pittwater program visit www.pittwater.nsw.gov.au/enliven Media contact: Melinda Hewitt Pittwater Council Ph: 9970 1170 LOST iPhone5 I lost my phone near Bells on Sunday night (8 December 2013). I have had a notification from "Find my iPhone" application that "a sound was played on Rachel's iPhone at 5:34pm on December 9, 2013 near Scotland Island 85 Richard Road". The app has only just located it about 30 minutes ago (So looks like it's still right next to Bells). I've put the phone on lost mode.It is now locked with a passcode, but it will display a message with my sister's number to call. Please call Olivia (0452 511 794) or Patrick (0416 591 495) WANTED URGENTLY I desperately need a "new" commuter boat that doesn't leak, if anyone has one for sale? Mine is on its feeble last legs and hardly makes it across the ditch it is so full of holes and oysters. I have a good 15HP motor so I am only looking for a hull that can happily get to and fro from Carols.

Hello, we are a family of 4 (including 2 very active, lovely boys - 3 and nearly 6 years old) who are very keen to find a special place in the Offshore Community. We’ve been looking at properties, and talking to whoever we can, for a while now and our preference is for entry level waterfront, or off water, on the northern side of Scotland Island, but we are open to other options. We plan to initially rent out the purchased property with a view to move in in about one to two years, so rent back is an option. We should have pre-approval for finance in a few weeks. If you are thinking of selling, please call Ian on 0404 833 674, or email Ian and Robyn at ijrj@tpg.com.au. Thanks. Wishing you all a happy Christmas and New Year. We can’t wait to join the Offshore Community!
