Book Discussion Group formation and invite
We are a group of three recent arrivals to the great city of Hamilton and would like to form a book discussion group under the auspices of the New Zealand Book Discussion Service ( BDS ). So far we have four people interested and would like the group to be around 8 to 10 in size.
If you need to know more, please go to www.bds.org.nz... to find out more about this wonderful service and it’s protocols for operating a book group in our community.
If you would like to be in this new Hamilton based group please send me something about yourself, your interests, book group experience and you contact details.
We are happy to coordinate the group set up and facilitate the first meeting and take it from there
Regards
Graeme Ludemann

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!
