Dajia Hao! We trust you are enjoying some nice Mid-Autumn Festival Celebrations that are taking place now around the country.

The following pics show some of the activities we engaged in, in Auckland on 4 December last year, which was the 3rd day of 3 days of celebrations. As well as a great number of members, these Celebrations were attended by our National President, Chris Lipscombe, and Immediate Past-President, Dave Bromwich, and our Auckland Branch President, Mike Dawson, as well as Members of our Branch Committee. There were speeches, songs, dances, taichi, photo shoots, food and drink aplenty, plus a lot of fun!!!

In Auckland now we are starting to plan our 2 December 2023 Rewi Alley Birthday Celebrations, and are asking all Branches and Members for advice and/or ideas as to what would be the best way in 2023 to Celebrate, not just Rewi Alley’s Birthday, but also his many great achievements.
