Montrose & Rosetta NHW Setting the Pace! Montrose and Rosetta are one of the newest Neighbourhood Watch (NHW) groups in Tasmania and their Coordinators, Dawn Hendrick and Peter Vogelsanger, are actively promoting the NHW brand and driving to increase their membership. By running a raffle during Neighbourhood Watch Week at Bunnings Glenorchy, they were able to raise funds to help them be more engaging and proactive in their community (thank you once again Bunnings). As part of their membership drive, they have established a local NHW Facebook page on which they post and share relevant community, police, and safety information. Seizing the availability of NHW masks at the
Neighbourhood Watch Australasia (www.nhwa.com.au/nhwa-shop/) online store, they applied for a grant from NHW Tasmania to go halves in the purchase of 50 masks. The added bonus was that the bulk order also realised a price reduction of $0.50 per mask. All NHW volunteers are encouraged to be enterprising, and this group is proving to be quite savvy in that regard.
because their order was received two days later, and they immediately started distributing the masks to new members. A NHW group purchasing some masks is a simple initiative to grow your engagement with your community and promote our brand. Food for thought to start 2022 which is our year in Tasmania for at least do something!
Well done to Neighbourhood Watch Australasia and Australia Post, NHWA JOURNAL APRIL 2022
