Greetings fellow Rotarians and a big thank you to past president Craig for holding the fort while I
was away in Australia. I presided over my first meeting last Thursday night and we had some open
and frank discussions in our committee’s which set the parameters for some of this year’s goals.
More to come on these in our committee reports and in following weeks.
On Friday the 14 th six members and their partners had an enjoyable trip to Invercargill for the
Invercargill Musical Theatre’s production of Jersey Boys. Perhaps a slow start but in the end a quality
performance from some very talented people.
This week we have Annie Pilcher Gough speaking to us on their five year, round the world sailing trip
from Riverton and return in 2015 to 2020, and on the 27 th we have John Lambeth speaking to us
about the Auckland Islands trip and their miracle survival. This will be a “Partners Night”.
We continue to look for a President Elect for this year to take the reigns in 2024-25 so if you think
you may be able to fill this role, please give me a call or speak to one of our fellow directors.
We continue to look for interesting speakers so if you have heard anyone lately or even know
someone who has a great tale to tell then get in touch.
On a sadder note, our deepest sympathies to Brian and family on the death of Yvonne. Whilst I
didn’t know her, it was clear from the way Brian and Robin spoke that she was a talented and
wonderful lady.
Look forward to catching up with you all as you return from the winter sojourns over the next few
weeks. Regards Don
