Having a splashing time

Written By Kim Manunui

Thank you to our three local Rotary Clubs of Orewa, Whangaparaoa and Orewa/Millwater Satellite for their donation of $1000 following the second annual Generation Homes Rotary Swimarathon in our community in June. The Rotary Clubs raised sufficient sponsorship to ensure that every cent of every dollar raised by the swimmers is donated to various local charities, and Youth In Transition was thrilled to be selected as one of these. The event was open to all, with fun sessions for mums & bubs through to children, adults and grandparents, plus competitive options. A swim team from Youth in Transition, led by Grayson Nipper, was just one of the 53 teams that swam on Sunday 30th June.

Save the date: The next event will be held on Sunday 28th June 2020!

Thank you to Rotary for their continued support.

Chair of the 2019 event, Rotarian Brian Mullan, is seen here presenting the cash award to Tina Jones, with Grayson Nipper looking on.

This year’s Swimarathon was a great fundraising success, over twenty thousand dollars was raised by the community. Youth In Transition received a generous donation check of one thousand dollars. Many extra awards were given out but the stand out for me was the swim team Happy Feet. Their team raised over two thousand dollars all on their own. Another thanks to the brilliant Brian Mullan for without him none of this would have happened.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
