Medal: 21st Summer Deaflympics, Taipei 2009

The medal memorabilia from Taiwan was donated to Manawatu Deaf Society by Annette Hansen, a life member of the Club. She attended the Taipei Deaflympics as the Chef de Mission for the New Zealand Deaflympics team. The country sent 5 athletes – Daniel Carruthers (cycling), Alex Field (swimming), Michael Lynch (karate), Emma Paton (table tennis), Kerry Titcombe (karate).

Annette was an Executive member of Deaf Sports Federation of New Zealand. She was also a Team Manager for the New Zealand team attending the Australian Deaf Games in Queensland 2008 (Gold Coast) and Geelong in Victoria 2012.
