Te Kowhai News July issue!
Please excuse the groan of your letterbox as Te Kowhai News July issue lands locally, weighing in at a hefty 28 pages, this is by far the biggest issue we've ever created.
Which is GREAT news!
When I took Te Kowhai News on in 2014 I was struggling to eek information out of the community. What a modest bunch we were! Now it seems the value of open and transparent communications is something valued and welcomed.
I love the fact that so many people are not contributing regularly to Te Kowhai News, giving up a little bit of their month to write a few words about their topic of choice, whether its their business, lifestyle, hobby or passion.
Please find in this post, Te Kowhai News July, featuring:
- Hearts to you Genevieve from Whatawhata Village Cafe! You're a local and national 'good sort'.
- Dame Malvina Major and the Old Girls and Boys luncheon.
_ Summerglow Apiaries opens its doors for fill-yer-boots-Fridays! Bring your own container and fill up with local yummy honey!
- Your water images
- The real story behind that weird power outage last month.
- Local dance classes for kids.
- And loads more!

Poll: Do you think this was the right decision?
Hamilton City Council is defending a $60,000 spend on a flood of water management PR featuring a TV personality as residents face huge rates rises.
At a time of council cash constraints, Te Radar - real name Andrew Lumsden - catches the eye on the council’s Facebook page, where he currently features in three “explainer” video clips about Hamilton’s water services.
Do you think this was the right decision? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
