A huge congratulations to Meg!
A big thank you to everyone who nominated a small business in this year's Prospa Local Business Hero awards - and who got behind our 11 regional finalists and voted.
And a huge congratulations to Meg Wilson - the founder of PAWS (Pet Animal Welfare Shops) across South Waikato! Meg's passion for pets received almost 20% of votes which has seen her walk away with a prize package worth $10,000 to support the work she and her team of volunteers do each day.
Thank you Neighbourly members for rallying around businesses in your community and continuing to show them how valued they are!

Anzac
What has happened to ANZAC, driving around Palmy for 2 hours, we saw no display or shows of support for this week's commemorations. Our house was the only one, that had a display, 4 had flags. We came from Westport, 3 years ago, and the small town would put us to shame, every third house had a display and all the inhabitants turned out in their droves for the 6 am ceremony.
