Suprised
Morning all - I wanted to share a quick story with you.
Last sunday a young man and his girlfriend broke down outside my property, and I went over to see if there was anything that I could do.
Turns out - he ran out of fuel. So I took him down to get some gas and he was having issues with his card. "I know what you are thinking - conveniently" anyway I paid for the gas and we got them back on the road.
I said to the young man, you know where I live, come drop off the cash. A few days went by, and to my surprise. He knocked on my door and handed me the cash.
All I have to say to this young man, Well Done - you are a credit to your family.

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!
