Have you thought about singing in a choir?
Our friendly community choir, Cantemus, is starting back up again on Monday May 2, after a long Covid-driven break. We're an un-auditioned SATB choir with a mixture of trained and untrained voices and we sing a variety of choral and sacred music with great enthusiasm! We all love creating beautiful harmonies , and we would love to welcome new members. We practise every Monday night from 7.30-9.30 (including a tea break) at St Luke's Church on Remuera Road in Newmarket. Please come along and join us!

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!
