Hilda Tamepo celebrates her 50th birthday at the Auckland Deaf Society clubrooms. The joyous event includes speeches, dancing, and lots of food! Hilda was married to Ivan Tamepo, long time kaumatua of the Maori Deaf community. Hilda was a larger than life character who was a talented artist and performer, with a very sharp sense of humour, often dispensed with a very dry delivery style!

Deaf Folk Conquer their Handicap
On a recent Saturday, I was lucky enough to meet members of the Auckland Deaf Society at a working bee they were holding to improve the grounds of the city's Deaf Welfare Centre. The centre, incidentially, is a very fine building – it has the biggest sports hall in Auckland with a floor area 110 by 60 feet.
