President's Message

Last week we received news that the Prime Minister, the Right Honourable Bill English was available to present our Goal Setter Awards at a Prime Minister's Breakfast, hosted by the Club, on 22 March at the Intercontinental Hotel. Please read the initial flyer in the Bulletin and mark this in your calendar. 

This will replace the planned event I mentioned at our Breakfast meeting last week. The Club Services Committee are organising the event but will require the full support of the members to come along and help promote the event to our networks and potential new members. It will be great opportunity to showcase the Club and Goal Setters in particular.

More information about the event and how to secure tickets will be coming out over the next week. Please get behind this event.

Perambulators

There were eight keen Perambulators who turned up at Lyall Bay for a walk organised by Paula. After walking up nearly 200 steps to Houghton Terrace, we walked along a ridge to get to Te Raukawa Moana Lookout, then down to Princess Bay and a walk back to our cars. Great coffee stop finish at Bel Mondo café and International Food Market on Tirangi Road. A great walk in excellent company!

 

Thanks

Interact Hang Out Day - we need your food!
Our wonderful Interact Club are having an event to bring 100+ 14-18 year olds from all walks of life together in a fun social event to encourage networking and friendship. They would like us to help them by providing cold finger food for their lunch at the event. This event is on Saturday 10 December.  So far I only have three people providing food and I need at least 10 more.  Please let me know if you can help.
 
Gillian has also asked for some adults to come to the event in a supervisory role to ensure the event is a safe and successful one for these young people.  The more the merrier.  We are still waiting for confirmation of the event details. Thank you so much for your help :-)
 
Please email Lisa if you are available to help with food or supervision. lisakingaling@gmail.com. Or give me a call on 2325685 or 0212656220.    Thank you 😊 
Opportunity to join the US-NZ Youth Council
Victoria has asked if you contact her if you know of a University student who she could recommend to join the US-NZ Youth Council. 
 
She has received a clarification that the Embassy would prefer second-year or above students.  She will be contacting the Interact students directly via email but if you have anyone you would like to suggest, please let her know.

CURMUDGEON'S OBSERVATION

Goldfish can break dance on a carpet. But only for 20 seconds. And only once.

Exercise? I thought you said "Extra Fries."
