I just had to share a picture of my new whānau member - his name is Naki and he is 3 and a half months old. He has doubled in size since we got him which make me think I may have bought a hoiho, not a kurī! His name is Ngāi Tahu dialect for cat, and he is a German Shepherd. You may, when I can't find someone to mind him, occasionally see him with me.

Now is a great time to check that your details are up to date; addresses, cellphone numbers,  immunisations, allergies etc. If you need to get in touch with me for any reason - concerns, compliments, just to chat -  I am able to be contacted on 0273293936 or on 385-6570 (Nōku Te Ao Mairehau) 420-2009 (Nōku Te Ao ki Te Pā) or by email dy@nokuteao,maori.nz or on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/noku.teao

If you have anything you would like added into the pānui, please let me know and I will add it in.

Ngā mihi ki a koutou, nau mai ki te tau hou kei Nōku Te Ao.

Mā te Ātua e manaaki, e tiaki e a koutou, Dy :-)
