Ngā mate
Whānau, close kin and friends of the late Richard Katerama Whitau, respected his wishes for a quiet tangi on July 1.
The Davis Jordan whānau recently spent a very special time together, to farewell a respected and adored mother, nanny and aunty.
The places visited were important to Karen during her childhood. It was a final gesture and koha by her whānau. Thank you to all for your wonderful tautoko.

Congratulations
Jennifer Gale graduated with her Bachelor of Commerce from Otago University in May. She is continuing her studies this year and is enrolled in a post-graduate diploma course in tourism.
Jennifer descends from Hakiri and her whānau whakapapa to Te Rūnanga o Moeraki through the Waterreus and Price families. Her parents, Leonie and Larry, and extended family are very proud of her achievements, and all travelled from Hawkes Bay to attend her graduation.

A celebration
Several whānau from Moeraki travelled to Takahanga Marae in Kaikōura to celebrate Tā Mark Solomon’s knighthood. Everyone had a wonderful time.
