Disillusioned!
To however gets to read this message:
The graphic that represents this "Organisation" is evidently no longer valid. North/South, East/West (and everything in between) of the Hutt River is no longer accepted.
No longer are we able to reach from Pinehaven/ Silverstream to Kaitoke (or others outside our direct "Nearby Neighbours") to ensure we could all communicate when relating to Upper Hutt-wide issues.
I am unsure when this change occurred as I was NOT informed of any such move. I have my suspicions, but no evidence.
Currently it would seem the messages via the 'Organisation' now only go to the Nearby Neighbours of Timberlea!
MY REQUEST FROM WHOMEVER READS THIS MESSAGE:
Please post a reply simply stating your Neighbourly area.
This info may give me some data to look at. It will clarify in my mind as to whether or not I remain a Neighbourly member.

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!
