Following two months of campaigning, the newly elected Devonport-Takapuna Local board opened the election term at the inaugural meeting on 29th October 2019 in the Takapuna Pump House Theatre. With four new members on the Local Board, the experience was new for the majority of us, and the theatre was filled with excited supporters and many wonderful people from within the community who work closely with the DTLB. My oldest son Jasper with his friend Poppy came along; the two of them have been running for school council! Also my 89 year old Grandfather was able to attend, after my beautiful Grandmother had passed away only 3 months earlier. She would have loved to have been there, and I would have proudly had her by my side.  

My declaration, which I read in te reo and in English, has been placed in the box stored in our workshop and reserved for life treasures, along with my kids' plunket books and University degrees.  I never saw this day coming, but it's amazing what you start to feel passionately about when you've got such a stake in the future of Tāmaki Makarau.
