Forks for Events
Hi everyone,
We are looking to gather up forks for use at the events we hold in Mt Victoria. We have been attempting to go waste-free and after a recent event found that plastic forks and "Compostable" forks were the biggest culprits (the compostable ones need an industrial environment to break down). So we are looking for your help - if you have a few spare forks in your kitchen drawer please send them our way.
you can drop them to the hub at 24 Elizabeth St or drop them in our letterbox if no one is here.
We will use them at all our events going forward and encourage others as well.
And if you have other stuff you are giving away like knives and plates and wine glasses we will take them too and not just restrict it to forks.
Thank you in advance and we hope you can help us out.

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!
