Have you had a baby in the last 12 months? Have you registered your pepi on the tribal register? Register your pepi and be in the running to win a “Pepi Pack” which features a specially designed Tainui teenie tee, health and wellbeing information, and resources carefully chosen for mum and baby. “We are trying to encourage our whaanau to register their tamariki, especially new pepi,” says Tribal Registrations Officer Teeny Tukere. “We want to encourage tribal members to register mokopuna from birth. Registration provides benefit to our marae in terms of the annual dividend they get, as well as access to a range of initiatives and grants set up to support our members.” Every Waikato-Tainui pepi registered from 1 February 2009 onwards, who is under 6 months of age, will go into a monthly draw. Winners will be notified directly. Decisions are final. No correspondence will be entered into. For registration forms: Freephone 0800 104 412 or visit our website www.tainui.co.nz.
