Hi Everyone,
Hows your Xmas plans going?
Mine has turned to shit. The laptop has sucked a kumara and I was hoping to have it fixed in time to send out some final information. Anyway......
things are coming together slowly. Registrations are still slow but same as last time, I expect everyone will just turn up at the time.
I had intended to send out a copy of the itinerary but it is not on this computer so here is a brief rundown of events.
The days are divided into a morning, afternoon and evening sessions. The morning sessions on most days have guest speakers with the Wed session being an arts display time for anyone in the whanau who have these talents. Please bring some of your work to show.
The morning sessions will also have a kids program offered at the same time so that the adults may attend the speaker sessions. These will have a nominal fee of approx $2 a session per child to help cover costs.
The afternoon sessions are a bit more casual, with museum trips, hangi making and sports etc organised. On Wed a bus tour of local places of interest is organised. It will cover among others Terapatiki, Waimako marae, Lake Waikaremoana, Frasertown Pub, Takitimu, Hinemihi. The bus can take 50 passengers and there is a cost of $10 each. Please book for this when you register at the desk.
There is a New Years Eve Ball on Thursday night. Feel free to bring your glad rags and get dressed up. Rowena will have more information.
Looking forward to catching up with everyone soon. I will be in Wairoa from 24th.
Safe travel

Kia Ora Whanau,
Our next meeting is coming up.
Saturday 15 August from 4pm. At Andrea's house this time.
85 The Circle In Manly on the Whangaparaoa Penninsula
Ph 09 4245202.
Sundays are getting a bit hectic so we are trying for a Saturday afternoon.
The registration form is live on the reunion site. www.kapene.co.nz
We are happy to post forms out to those that don't have internet access. Just let me know.
When you fill out the online registration form and submit it you will be sent a return email with details of the Kapene Reunion Bank Account and a reference Number to mark your payment. As yet, no-one has registered.
A reminder to get your biographies to Aunty Amiria for the Reunion book if you haven't already done so.
It would be nice to have someone from each commitee available at the meeting to give a report on plans so far. If you can't make it, let me know and maybe see if someone else from the committee can present work done so far. We have a mammoth task to do and we need to start finalising, ordering, booking, purchasing etc.
Hope everyone is keeping well.
Love Veronika
Kia Ora Whanau,
Just a reminder re the Reunion Meeting No 4 this Sunday at Wendy and Grahams. 24 Tatariki St Papakura, 11am. Please bring a plate.
We are beginning to get busy and committees should be looking at budgets, schedules, and any other preparations needed to finalise plans. Please bring your plans,designs, samples for the meeting.
Our agenda will just be update reports from each of the various committees.
For those of you who saw the email re John Edmonds interview on TV3, John advises that he has a link to his group facebook site called "Lifes Journey to Death and Back / An Inspirational story of an NDE (Near Death Experience), very interesting and well worth a look.
The registration form is now live on the reunion site. www.kapene.co.nz
We are happy to post forms out to those that don't have internet access.
Looking forward to seeing you on Sunday but.......... if you're sick (ie cold/flu) then stay home and look after yourself!
