HE PANUI
Tena koutou e te Iwi,

We are actively seeking descendants of TeRina Pine and Pine Tuakau to assume the important roles of Trustees for our cherished Moawhango Marae. As custodians of our cultural heritage, it is vital to have representation from those who carry our lineage and values. We invite descendants to join our Moawhango Marae Whanau page, where you can find more information about the nomination process and the responsibilities involved in these trustee roles.

Please note that Trustee nominations will close on Friday, 20th February at 5 PM. This is a significant opportunity to contribute to our community and ensure the future of our Marae. We look forward to your participation.
