It was a fantastic night for those who attended the launch
of the stunning book Marae.
Held at Bob & Friends in
Ponsonby, it was a visual treat for guests in more ways that one. Located in
stunning bungalow, a very appropriate place for the launch of a book that is
about meeting houses.
The hosts had placed copies of the book throughout the
store amongst their stunning range of stock. In every room were copies of
Marae – on the couch, the shelves, the counter and the coffee
tables and as you wandered through the hallway it that was adorned with large
format images from the book.
The formalities were short but heartfelt as John Walters –
son of Muru and brother and brother-in-law of Robin & Sam – lead the
proceedings.
The book/launch was blessed by a friend of the family and
then Muru and family members led the crowd of around 100 in several songs – both
in Maori and English.
Then with the formalities over friends, family and
colleagues of the Walters family continued to celebrate the launch of this
stunning book.
