Remember, remember Pūhoi Fire Station 5 November

Rendering of Pūhoi’s new fire station

Remember, Remember: Always ready to go the extra mile, not only does the Pūhoi Rural Fire Force provide Mahurangi West with a life-saving first-response service, the crew is turning out on Saturday morning to help with the annual working bee at the Mahurangi West Hall. Some residents will consider redirecting a year’s fireworks budget to helping ensure the Pūhoi Fire Station can be opened fully functioning a sound, and quieter investment. And some of those, when deciding how much to donate, may quickly calculate what kicking a $100-a-year fireworks habit might save them over a lifetime, and invest some or all of that now, to see the job finished once and for all. rendering Ian Creusen-Foot

Anyone planning to, should do it Guy Fawkes weekend.

And not just because investing this year’s fireworks budget in Pūhoi’s new fire station is the sane thing to do.

The Pūhoi Fire Station Givealittle campaign, technically, is an ‘open cause’ that runs until 31 May 2017. However, rather than have it drag on for another seven months, a ‘Givealittle-athon’, climaxing on 5–6 November, is underway. Here’s why:

  1. The funding heavy lifting has happened, but help is needed to finish the job, so that as soon as the building is complete, a fully operational fire station can be opened; so, to help this happen,
  2. Donations of $25 or more made between now and the end of Guy Fawkes weekend attract a reward.

When donating, those wishing to receive a reward will need to provide their details for an e-receipt, and check the ‘Share my details with Pūhoi Volunteer Rural Fire Force’ box.

Donate now, or check out the rewards below—you can even suggest a reward!
