Feeling Neighbourly?
Are you a local business based in Hope or the surrounding area? Every year Hope School holds a Country Fair to raise funds for the running of our small school. At this popular event we have a Silent Auction where we auction off goods and services kindly donated by the community.
Our fair is coming up on 22nd September. We thought Neighbourly could be a good way of reaching out to local businesses who we otherwise may not have contacted.
If you are able to support us in our Silent Auction, by making a donation of goods or services or a voucher that we could auction off, we would really appreciate if you could get in touch with us via Neighbourly or by calling Hope School on 03 544 8427. It is a great way of advertising for business in the local community, and funds raised will be used to provide our students with experiences and resources such as trips out, visitors into school, library visits and support staff.
We greatly appreciate the generosity of local businesses and advertise this generosity before and during our event.
Many thanks for your support!

Kia ora neighbours. We know your tomato plants are still growing, but we're looking ahead to the harvest already!

Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our February 2025 issue.
