The Rotary Club of Osborne Park celebrated Waitangi Day 2022 at a function held on Friday 4 February. Waitangi Day (Māori: Te Rā o Waitangi), the national day of New Zealand, marks the anniversary of the initial signing, on 6 February 1840, of the Treaty of Waitangi, which is regarded as the founding document of the nation. The function was held at the Colin Moore Community Centre, which is managed by the Club, was attended by about 80 guests and a tremendous success.
The event was organized by our own Sue Roberts, a proud Maori woman, with assistance from other club members. Sue who is of the Te Arawa and Tainui tribe is from the east coast of New Zealand.
