Tu tonu te wananga waiata moteatea i te ruma iti o to tatou wharekai a Whakaturia. No reira haere mai waiata ai, tautoko ai, ako ai, katakata ai pea. Kotahi haora noa iho. Ka timata taua wananga i te rima ki te ono karaka o te ahiahi po ia Mane ia Mane.

The National Maori Language Commission will be holding their hui in Rotorua commencing with a powhiri at the Energy Events Centre on Friday 8th October. It is requested that those who can make it to support the powhiri gather at the events centre by at least 8am on the day.

Tuesday Wananga Paepae 6pm - 7-30pm (ish) at Tamatekapua. The kaupapa for this hui is to confirm the final arrangements for the shifting of Pukaki from the RDC foyer to Tallyho Street.

The very best of luck to all our whanaunga who took up the challenge to gain and perhaps regain seats on the various boards and councils in the Waiariki rohe.
