Community newsletter for Pukerua Bay
If you’re interested in what we’re doing in our little community, check out our two-monthly community newsletter (edited by my clever wife).
The latest issue of Kōrero (kōrero is Māori for news or talking) is online.
Here you can find information about the PKB Hub’s Pop-up Parlor, the Climate Action spring series, and a link to Maringikura Mary Campbell’s Facebook page with her artwork.
Also, lots of informative articles. We hope you enjoy it.
