Well that’s me for this week catch you next week don’t forget send us what you are up to in your area and I’ll let the whanau know.

Here is the thought for the week:

Remember to focus on what is truly important to yourself and your family. The distractions of the daily grid and chores can take you away from what is really important, but always remain true to yourself, your values, and your goals. There in lies the path to happiness.

I’m Raewynne the Program Director for Tautoko Fm at the end of each month, starting today I will be giving you updates of things happening for the following month in this case the month of October:

• 11^th to 15^th October is the last round for the Waitangi Hearings being held in the Ngati Rehia Area.

• 26^th to 1^st November Blind Week.

Happy Birthday to Tautoko FM 22years old on 30 September to all the past, present and new announcers.

My thought for the month is this, “If you think that your going round in a circle stop and go the other way”

The key to the world!

Tautoko FM’s 21st birthday was on the 28 November 2009.

People on the ground in Mangamuka took part in the celebrations personally.

It all started at 7am with a blessing of the newly painted station, them manuhiri moved down to the Ngapuhi Marae for the powhiri and a breakfast  hakari.  At 10am stalls were opened and the concert began.

If you are south of Whangarei or outside the country, bookmark this blog and click on the Play Tautoko Now button.

And hear it all in the convenience of your whare.

Wherever that may be.

Tautoko is 21 once. And they celebrated 21 years of Tautoko Radio.

And look forward to the next 21 years.

And just because you can’t be there in person, doesn’t mean the celebration can’t be heard in your house.

Streaming through your computer speakers.

Here’s what happened on the ground.
