Piako Post
Members of the Morrinsville Catholic Women's League are celebrating its 75th jubilee today. With around 100 new and old members from St Joseph's Catholic Church in Morrinsville attending, president Sophia Barker said everyone was welcome to come along and join the celebrations. Mrs Barker said the day would be about celebrating the league's commitment to helping the community and people overseas through church missions. It would also be about thanking members who volunteer and help fundraise for those who needed help, she said.
Leaky boats and jet airliners
Wairarapa News
Last August I wrote a column about how, back in 1980, I employed a Vietnamese couple in my meat retailing business. Hoa and My Van Nguyen were boat people and had a nine-month-old daughter named Dyung when they arrived in Masterton. Last week, Hoa and My came to visit. We were, of course, delighted to see them. They had decided to come back and catch up with those people who had helped them as refugees and it was an emotional time for us all.
