We’d also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to MP Tangi Utikere, Wiremu Te Awe Awe, and all the Councillors who attended and supported us. Your presence made the event even more special!

A sincere thank you to UCOL Work Hub for capturing these incredible moments.

We would also like to thank our community members Dian, Rita, and Compas Catering for the delicious snacks.

Lastly, a big thank you to our wardens for ensuring everything ran smoothly and for keeping everyone safe and comfortable.
