Property Pride Award
As Prior of the Order of St John, the Governor-General, Hon Anand Satyanand, presented the 2008 Order of St John National Property Pride Award to volunteers from the Mercury Bay St John Ambulance Station on 26 August 2008. The Property Pride Awards programme (established in late 2006) is aimed at involving all St John property holders in a national competition to find the best example of “housekeeping”. Pictured (from left) were: Yvonne Budliger, Volunteer Officer; Glenys Adams, Volunteer Officer; Tracy Harvey, Mercury Bay Operational Team Manager; David Harvey, Chair, Mercury Bay Committee; the Governor-General and Mrs Susan Satyanand; and Judith and Patrick Hoban, the Award judges.
