A Special Thanks for 18 Years of Wisdom
We had another busy month, we had Lin give a talk about her life, very full on and busy, with several career changes and raising a family along the way. She ran a half marathon at age 65 only deciding six months before she was going to do it and had never run before! We also had Age Concern on their monthly visit talk about elder abuse and what to do about it and who can help. We had a quiz from David the master quizmaster all about Featherston.
Kia ora,
I would like to request the following amendments be made to the article Paetumokai Local Dick Smith.
– Dick was not a founding member of Arohaina Kohanga Reo, Featherston (Dick and Kiri moved to Featherston in 1986. Arohaina was established in 1983.)
– Dick was the first paid Co-ordinator of the Featherston Community Centre.
– The rubbish dump was located at what is now known as Otauira
– Dick is not the current President of Nga Uri o te Rua Tekaumawaru (previously known as 28th Maori Battalion, Wgtn Branch). He is currently a Patron of Nga Uri o
te Rua Tekaumawaru. However, it is likely that he presided 5 times.
