Rainy night patrols
Cold and rainy nights are a big opportunity to those offenders trying to take advantage of empty streets and rain noise to conceal their activities. Knowing that, Beach Haven & Birkdale Community Watch is trying to deploy as many patrols as possible during these nights. We hope our presence might dissuade those looking for a chance for wrongdoing.
Thanks to your generous donations, our patrollers are getting petrol vouchers to partially cover the gas expenses. Your donation keep our patrols running, please visit our Give a Little page: givealittle.co.nz......
We are always looking for more volunteers to join our initiative, please get in touch today to get more information. Send us an email to communitywatchbh@gmail.com.
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!
