Whakarongo ki te taiao - Feeling the land’s rhythms

Community Engagement Advisor from Greater Wellington Regional Council

Koro will be the oldest attendant at Whakarongo ki te taiao - Feeling the land’s rhythms event on 21 March.

An ancient Totora log, Koro was found on the shores of Wairarapa Moana by Warren Maxwell who carefully crafted what can only be described as a musical experience, more than an instrument. This extraordinary and unique Wairarapa resident will be available for interactive musical fun 🎶

And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...

Prospa

A huge congratulations to mother and son duo, Mary and Sam Danielson from The Puketapu Hotel.

The votes for all finalists have been tallied and they have been chosen by Neighbourly members across the country as the Prospa Local Business Hero of 2024.

The Puketapu Hotel was nominated by a local called Margaret and the nomination reads:
'On Feb 14, 2023, Cyclone Gabrielle flooded many of the rural areas. Puketapu Hotel went under perhaps half a meter of water. However, immediately Mary Danielson and her son, Sam Danielson, along with their loyal staff pulled it together to cook copious amounts of food that without electricity would have been wasted. Throughout the years many of us have been treated with a pub gathering where we can reconnect and a free meal. At Christmas there was Santa, games, gifts for kids, donated patchwork for adults, an ice cream truck and lots of camaraderie.
This February on the cyclone anniversary, they again pulled out the stops to give hundreds of us a special night. We are all tired of the cyclone cleanup and they understood that it was needed.'

Such a deserving business and team, well done Mary and Sam. And thank you to all those who voted!

Piano Lessons

Alesha from Carterton District

Hi,

I was just wondering if anyone does piano lessons in the Wairarapa or can suggest anyone that teaches?

Thank you!
