In the first term we laid a lot of ground work and plans for our Kura for the year. It seems like time is of the essence and its moving so fast. I’m really excited and cannot wait to see what the following terms bring. I know its hard going but Ma pango ma whero, ka oti te mahi – with red and black the pattern is completed. If we work together 2011 will be the best year yet!

Thank you for supporting me and I look forward to doing the same for you all.
