This week's Nice Neighbours are Matt, Amelie and Jireh Rudich of Papakura. They were nominated by Yolanda Schuller.

On Yolanda's birthday, her husband had a major heart attack. They had an entire day planned, but then life threw a spanner into the works.

Yolanda asked Amelie to feed her cat, Koda, but Amelie's family went over and above. They cooked dinners two nights in a row and sent yummy treats during the tough time.

“I was really touched by their love, prayers and generosity. They are amazing. I couldn’t wish for better neighbours,” said Yolanda.

Nominate a Nice Neighbour you know, and they could be recognized on Stuff (and you both win a prize!).

ACLX is the Waikato’s leading event production equipment supplier, so unsurprisingly they have been enthusiastic supporters of the Waikato Regional Theatre since it was first proposed six years ago.

Now they have backed that up with a serious donation to the Theatre project, as part of its ‘Business Collective Support’ programme.

Managing Director Aaron Chesham, who has been designing and rigging lights for local shows and parties since the late-1990s, says there is a clear demand here for a modern performing arts venue.

“The Waikato needs and deserves a purpose-designed space for delivering complex and sophisticated entertainment events, it’s the infrastructure for the highly technical events that we haven’t been able to host in Hamilton for many years, since long before Founders was condemned,” says Aaron.

“We’re talking the flexibility that comes from having the ‘flying systems’ for scenery and staging, the wings, the acoustics, the sightlines, the accessibility, just generally the environment that a true theatre space offers that an arena doesn’t."
