Ms Hewit, who has owned the cafe for twenty years, said: “The generosity, kindness, and support from islanders has been overwhelming, and raising \u00a310,000 for Enable feels like the perfect way to close this chapter. <\/p>\n
“I’ve loved every minute – every customer, every stormy morning, every sunny lunchtime rush.”<\/p>\n
She added it had been a privilege to serve the community and she was retiring with a “full heart” and the “happiest memories”.<\/p>\n
Enable Jersey said it celebrated Ms Hewit’s 20th anniversary and charity work with a beach party in the summer. <\/p>\n
CEO of the charity, Sean Pontin, said it “didn’t come close to showing how much she means to this island”.<\/p>\n
He added: “Rhona’s generosity, positivity and sheer determination inspire everyone around her. <\/p>\n
“While we’ll all miss seeing her at the hatch every day, she more than deserves to retire on a high. Her legacy will be felt across Jersey for years to come.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Ms Hewit, who has owned the cafe for twenty years, said: “The generosity, kindness, and support from islanders…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":357224,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[49,48,61],"class_list":["post-357223","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357223","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=357223"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/357223\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/357224"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=357223"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=357223"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=357223"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
