Congratulations to Zyden-Aquila Hynes on his Baptism and his whanau who supported him today.Looking especially handsome in his korowai.

Again, we gathered to remember those we love and see no longer. Our speakers shared their stories and we cried, laughed and remembered.

Thank you to everyone who attended our annual Christmas in July Luncheon and especially our caterers Kylie, Linda and Jillian.

After Karakia at Te Wairua Tapu we head to the Mt Ousley turn off Wollongong to the beautiful suburb of Fairy Meadow. At 3pm we are privileged to use the Fairy Meadow Community Centre for Karakia. The managers of the centre are Matua Ernie and Whaea Rose.
