Free BBQ and Family Service
**FREE DINNER ON US**
They say that there are some age old tradtth Marhitions that get lost sometimes. Family, it used to be that you had your dinner around a table at the same time every night, talking, laughing and interacting with each other, with exaggerations no doubt about how fast your kids ran in the school cross country. These days its dinner on the couch in front of the TV.
So This Sunday Night you're invited to a FREE BBQ Dinner, on us, bring the kids, let them get messy with too much tomato sauce, let them have some ice-cream, just come and be apart of our Family service where 75% of it will involve eating dinner and retelling those stories having a laugh. Bring someone along with you, invite your neighbour, but make sure you definitely come along.
We'd love to see you there

And the 2024 Prospa Local Business Hero is...
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!
