It has also been decided that when a member is on the duty of 'Intro Speaker' you are expected to find the speaker for that week. If you are unable to find a speaker you can be the speaker.

 

The meeting to be on 25th April will be be held to honour ANZAC Day.

If you ever wondered if the money our Rotary club donates or supports is worth while, then think again. On the 14th March we had our answer when Harry McCallum came to the club and spoke to us about sending him to RYLA in Queenstown.

Harry's talk was absolutely brilliant. He started off discussing the various guest speakers thoughout RYLA. Then discussed some of the activities including the very funny topics of what colour and shapes people are, Harry it's ok to be 'Red'. Harry was brilliant and while thanking the speaker Merv said the it was awesome to see how young people in our community get out of RYLA and Sciene Forum etc. The confidence and knowledge they gain makes us proud to be a Rotarian!  

 

This role is going to split into two positions to make it easier on the next members and split the work load. Jane will be available to provide full training BUT will be travelling overseas from 1 June for 3 months so Jane will only be able to provide support until the end of May.

Kendra is also looking to step down from Secretary after change over.

 

If you can fill any of these rolls please let President Don know.

Collection day for this is Friday 22nd March at Fresh Choice 9.00am to 5.00pm. Anyone who can spare an hour or 2 can you please let Shayne know 027 204 6580 or shayne13@xtra.co.nz
