Christmas Party - Thursday night 13th!
A reminder that our annual Christmas Party is this Thursday night with drinks at 6pm followed by dinner at 7pm.  The cost is $32 per person and we encourage everyone to bring along a gift for a child in need in our community.  Please indicate if your gift is suitable for a girl or boy and age range would also be useful.  Our theme for the evening is "Sparkle" so we encourage you to wear some Christmas Bling!   As usual please let the club know if you are bringing partners or guests, or if you are an apology.  This should be done by today!!
 
Start up of Rotary 2019 - BBQ!
Our recommencement of Rotary for the New Year in 2019 will be a BBQ hosted at Eric Roy's as a shared event with the Invercargill North Club.  This is on Friday 25th January, (Not a Thursday). We will organise a carpool from Te Anau Club at 6.30pm.  We would really love a good attendance with this please and will send you a reminder in the New Year.  Following on from the BBQ there will be a Car Rally / Scavenger hunt also with the Invercargill North Club, at 2pm on Saturday 26th January.  This is being organised by a real PRO and guarantees to be lots of fun!
