Neighbourly's Good News
I was in Countdown and had put my groceries which came to $23.00 through the self checkout, when I realised that Id left my money purse at home.
I asked the shop assistant if I could come back tomorrow with the money and collect the groceries but that wasnt possible. While I was wondering what to do a young lady who I have never seen before said "I'll pay for your groceries'.
I was overwhelmed with her kind offer. She proceeded to take out her card and pay for them while I stood there amazed.
I managed to get her bank account number and reimbursed her online that evening, but her kindness is something I wont forget in a hurry.
May she be blessed abundantly for her thoughtfulness and generosity. What an amazing thing to do for a total stranger.
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!

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