Local hero nominated for NZ'er of the year!
Te Kowhai resident and Director of agricultural services company, SBC Group, Nathan Spitzer, has been nominated for New Zealander of the Year!
You may recall the story from the Waikato Times a few weeks ago where Nathan jumped into the Waikato River to rescue a young girl from drowning.
You might not know that Nathan is a huge asset to our community in more ways than one. He volunteers for the Ngaruawahia Fire Brigade, is a member of the Te Kowhai Community Group and has volunteered many hours around the community. He's always willing to lend a hand, has a growing business and a growing young family, but always has time for his community.
PLEASE VOTE for Nathan in this competition. One vote per email address.
