Te Kowhai News November issue
This is the last issue for 2018 (seriously…. Has this year gone fast or what?)
In this issue you’ll find:
* An interview with Renae Smart from Civtec. Civtec is a local company and just last week, Renae won the 2018 Emerging Leader award at the Westpac Business Awards.
* Lots of great wheel photos. Credit to the weathered wheel shown in this post goes to Suzy McPhail.
* Stocking filler ideas for little girls.
* Summer salad recipe from Louise Hopkins.
* Dog training support from Heather Westerby-Jones
* Christmas services at St Stephen’s Church (see ad on P7)
* Heritage stories by Graham McBride.
* Politics, Council and Community Group news from local contributors.
In January I’ll be collecting up holiday snaps from the community so I’d love it if you could send something in for page 2. Send me a snap from your phone of you or those around you taking a break from school or work: tekowhainews@gmail.com
I hope you enjoy reading this latest issue.
Kind regards
Amanda
From rugged campsite to 7.5ha resort
Grant Kilby has always loved camping. His mum was director of health at the YMCA, and he would attend YMCA camps in the school holidays. “I think it was mandatory that I was there,” he jokes.
He went on camping holidays with his parents, and later, took his own kids.
“Camping’s been in my blood.”
Poll: Is it ok to regift something that you have been given?
🎁 Holiday Gift Chat!
Do you ever regift?
What’s your take on asking for a receipt if a gift doesn’t fit?
-
78.7% Yes! It's better to regift what I don't need
-
21.3% No. It's the thought and effort that matters
Poll: When do you shop the sales?
Bargain hunters made the most of Boxing Day sales at Centre Place and The Base in Hamilton on Friday.
However, a marketing expert believes Boxing Day sales, long a staple of Kiwi life post-Christmas, is on the outer as Black Friday becomes more popular.
When do you shop the sales? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
