Louis & Max have expanded!
Not only has Jake’s family expanded recently with the birth of beautiful daughter Olive, but Louis & Max have moved to larger premises at 2/5 Cook Street, next to Baby HQ.
We put a lot of effort into commemorating Anzac Day.
The Howick Village Association had flags flying, poppies brightening the Village, and a poignant display of crosses and poppies in Fencible Walk.
The large poppy in the Village Square commemorated Howick’s war heroes.
If you read the names on the poppies – Gill, Drake, Somerville, Bradbury, Bell, Oliver, Wellington, Hattaway, Crawford, Broomfield, and Reeves – it was sobering and meaningful.
We created what we hope is a powerful and poignant ANZAC tribute in Fencible Walk, a display of poppies and crosses to honour Howick’s proud ANZAC heritage.
We created a space for reflection, sentimental, hopeful, and quietly sorrowful.
Howick holds a rich ANZAC history, and we endeavoured to honour the bravery, sacrifice, and spirit of those who served.
On April 16 at a special general meeting, the Howick Village Association agreed to proceed with the proposed expansion of our Business Improvement District (BID) zone.
We are hoping to extend our membership to include ‘The Terraces’ and ‘The Valley’, bringing 100 additional businesses into the Association.
We’ll be holding meetings and engaging with the effected businesses and property owners over the coming months.
The Good Home are holding their annual Pink Ribbon Lunch on Sunday, May 25.
Tickets cost $75 per person, three-course lunch, bubbles on arrival, guest speaker, auctions and raffles and a fashion show.
It’s a great cause. Tickets are required so please email admin@theprospect.co.nz.
We’ll be holding a mid-winter business celebration event for our members in late June.
- If you’ve had great service, or have a reason you think we should acknowledge the great work of any of our Village businesses, please email your experience to manager@howickvillage.co.nz.
