In Loving Memory of Our Past President, Koro Don Te Maipi
"He toa taki tini taku toa. Eehara i te toa takitahi."
"The success of our club moving forward is the effort of many, not of a few."
These words from Koro Don captured the heart of who he was — a leader who believed in unity, community, and the strength we find in each other.
Koro Don gave so much of himself to our club — his time, his wisdom, his guidance, and his aroha. He was more than a President; he was a mentor, a friend, and a driving force behind everything we achieved together.
He was such a big part of not only our club, but also the entire Kāpiti community. As a past President, we will miss his steady presence, his warmth, and the way he could bring people together. His legacy will continue in the spirit of kotahitanga (togetherness) that he instilled in us all.
Moe mai rā, Koro Don.
Thank you for everything you gave — we will carry your vision forward.
