Rebus Pahiatua
Calling all Senior Citizens - Pahiatua & Districts Rebus Club
A warm welcome awaits you at our local Rebus club. Aimed at retirees, we have a range of activities throughout the year to help you forge new friendships in your senior years. We have a monthly get-together focused on meeting and getting to know new people within the club, with time also allocated to a variety of speakers from within the club ("mini speakers") and external guest speakers. The speakers are usually both interesting and informative and frequently lead to questions and lively discussion. Free morning tea is provided.
Throughout the year we have a number of club outings and we frequently carpool. This is also an opportunity to get to know new people. Passengers are asked to contribute $5 towards car expenses. A Christmas lunch partially subsidised by the club is an popular and enjoyable annual feature.
When: Every 3rd Wednesday of the month
Where: Tararua Club, Tararua Street, Pahiatua
Subscription: $25 per year

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!
Piano Lessons
Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone does piano lessons in the Wairarapa or can suggest anyone that teaches?
Thank you!
