sausage sizzle, Babe, Evon, Rachael and whanau did the batons up and raffles, JK and Wendy did their stall, Anthony and whanau sold food, candy floss and collected the hangi money, Nata and Carol had a stall and so did Kiri Matiu. Bootsie sold the ice-cream and David Russell donated peruperu for the fundraiser while Pete Smith provided the smoked tuna (yum). Did I miss anyone else.....sorry if I did. A total of $3875.60 was raised less $697.70 expenses = $3177.90. I think that was a marvellous effort and I have to take my hat off to Mr. Awarau who did what he had to do in 5 weeks to bring his pet project to fruition. The money raised will go to the renovation/rebuilding project. This could be an annual event and a good get together for all whanau of Waimanoni. Just wanted to let you all know because we're pretty stoked up here. (- Mere Henry) |

The Waimanoni Housie Committee was founded 4 years ago. At the end of the last financial year this group raised $56,000 toward the new ablution block for Waimanoni Marae. Last month the Waimanoni Marae Committee shouted the full team of 36 volunteers to a well deserved Christmas Dinner to thank them for their generosity and hard work for our marae.
