REUNION+EVENING

What a lovely evening we all had last Thursday!

Twelve former students, six staff and a few partners all met up at The Stables in Elliott Street Auckland and shared Samoa photos, and memories as well as catching up with what everyone is doing now.

Stephen reminded us of the fateful night in Apia when we could not get into the booked hotel and the senior students (and staff) had to go into a cockroach infested doss house!

There was a confession by a certain female student that she had been told off by Miss Hooker for kissing one of THOSE Australian boys!

The tattoo was recalled and the cross dressing boys (see the photo page to refresh your memory!)

Lisa spoke of her recent trip to Samoa and her involvement with the tsunami.

Plus everyone commented on the warmth of our Samoan hosts and the impact that the trip had on our lives.

Siliva spoke warmly of his pleasure at realising how fondly we all thought of the trip. He will be going to a wedding in Samoa at Christmas and plans to find out what needs Lalomanu school has.

So now please be creative about some fundraising! If you want to contact Daphne and Alan, their e-mail address is afda@xtra.co.nz (although they will be away and not in e-mail contact for the whole of December).
