Free Hot Cross Buns Mark Howick Appreciation Day
An Auckland businessman is giving away hundreds of hot cross buns tomorrow to celebrate Howick Appreciation Day.
Bakers Delight owner Arjun Tawar said he was inspired by the resilience and community spirit shown by the Howick community during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic.
So he will be dishing out the tasty morsels at his bakery from 7am to 6 pm.
Up for grabs will be chocolate chip, apple and cinnamon, mocha, fruitless and traditional buns.
Tawar said many people were foiled from sampling the delights last Easter so he opted to treat the town.
An owner since 2018, Tawar said a community that worked together would always prosper more.
"I have truly witnessed this over the past year as community members have come together to support us and other local businesses through such an uncertain time for all, " he said.
Due to their support we were able to continue trading throughout the height of the pandemic by
offering pick up orders, and recover well as we have returned to our new Covid normal."

Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
