some fundraising ideas. Rachael suggested perhaps parents set up an automatic

Also Family Fun Night (March 2) would be a great opportunity to fundraise
Fundraising Committee: Ari, Charlene, Vivienne possibly Cherie. First meeting is
tomorrow at 2:45pm in Te Whare Kakano. This group will feed back to Hana and
inform the rest of the Whanau.
8. Meetings: Day and Time: Do you still want to meet once a month on a Tuesday.
Tuesdays in March are a problem for Ari. Wednesday is a better night for all those
present. The next two meetings will be Wednesday 16th March and Wednesday
13th April.
9. General Business: Swimming this year – Te Whare Kakano is going swimming
with the middle school and this is providing one on one support for our young
swimmers while providing extension for the more able students.
