There's a new dimension to the Flaxmere Heroes calendar for 2012.
Next year's calendar, the third of its kind, not only celebrates the suburb's local heroes but also includes a directory of agencies, services and businesses accessible to residents of Flaxmere.
The calendar, supported by Hastings District Council, Hawke's Bay District Health Board, Te Puni Kokiri, Totara Health, the U-Turn Trust, and some local businesses, will be distributed to more than 3000 homes and businesses in the suburb with the Hastings Leader in coming weeks.
Inclusion of a community directory was an inspired thought by the district council and agencies that support Flaxmere, essentially bolting on useful names and numbers to a project that's all about community pride.
