What a weekend 🥹 as our TMN chapter slowly comes to a close, there’s a few special thank you’s we’d like to do 🙏

💜 MEITAKI MA’ATA TO ALL OUR SPONSORS! TMN always comes at cost to cover all the preparations that take place before hitting the stage. Without our sponsors, none of this would have been possible.

🖤 MALO LAVA TO ALL OUR SPECIAL MENTIONS! Again, there were so many people who had a hand in the success of our campaign. Every small bit counts, whether it be money - services - time, for that, we are extremely grateful.

🤍 Lastly, to our group, our members, our supporters and our families.. 😭 THANK YOU! Thank you for having faith in us, having faith in our Vaka and having faith in yourselves. Thank you for your efforts, time, commitment and sacrifice. Thank you to our families who supported our group. A special thank you to our tamariki, our children, who had to endure this szn with us too. At times, we forget that our children are riding this journey with us too. Our soldiers 🫶🏽

To you all, Meitaki ma’ata, Meitaki ranuinui, Meitaki atupaka 🙏 until next time 😌
