Matua Boycie, “Pokai hearts want to do the best they can, though they have still, to focus on getting major renovations up and running.

Accomodation options: Hotel/motel Marae Billet.

Suggestions put forward for consideration…that we consider marae which can cater for a large number of people eg. Rahui, Hinerupe and that, perhaps, each area delegate a member/s to go around and tautoko the host marae. Rex/Aunty Aileen.

Make contact with marae committee chairpersons. John/Anne.\

Korero/confirm these suggestions at the next whanau hui.

Transport.

Bus and van costs… refer to Pokai Hui minutes (14:2: 10)

Question…What bout the Haerewa Buses?

Consider a bus.

Driver accommodation for the duration.

They were also contacted.

Awaiting a reply from Mr Haerewa..

Fundraising.

Bring a can to each hui

Remember, also, th $10. is not a registration fee. It is simply and entirely an easy form of raising funds to enable the whanau José to manaaki our whanau Espaňola.

Do our best to let our immediate whanauknow and keep reminding them about it.

Updating information.

Please get hold of the format thus making it easy for recording
