Members led the meeting with a karakia.
Kua uru mai a hau kaha, a hau maia, a hau ora, a hau nui,
Ki runga, ki raro, ki roto, ki waho
Rire, rire hau…pai marire
Translation
(non-literal) - Rama Ormsby
Let the winds bring us inspiration from beyond,
Invigorate us with determination and courage to achieve our
aspirations for abundance and sustainability
Bring the calm, bring all things good, bring peace… good
peace.
