Hope for Hollie
Hollie Beattie is a beautiful 7 year old who has been diagnosed with a rare form of cancer called Neuroblastoma. Despite receiving treatment for the last 2 years, the doctors have advised that they have exhausted treatment options in NZ and the last remaining option for a cure is a trial treatment that will need to be undertaken in Spain.
The costs associated of this are estimated to be at least of $400,000.

Bus to Orewa
Hi everyone, in the proposed changes to the bus and ferries timetable, I note that once again we have been denied a straight through bus from Army Bay to Orewa. We are expected to go right past the turnoffs to Orewa, go to the station in Silverdale,, and then get a bus to Orewa. It’s ridiculous, time wasting, and of no use what so ever. Come on everyone, get behind this and make some noise about it. Just another reason at the moment, not to use the buses. Let’s see if we can change this.😃
