The newsletter provides updates on staff leave over the December period, reminds residents about recycling procedures over the holidays, and invites residents to a New Year's braai. Key staff members like Hayman, Herman, and the chair Barbara will be on leave between December and January. Recycling will not be collected until after January 2nd, and residents are asked not to use the bin areas until then. Residents are also invited to join a New Year's braai being hosted in the development.
