Our club was lucky to have one of our own members give us some insight into te reo maori, and how, with a little bit of effort and practise, it really isn't that hard to incorporate into our day to day.
I have been a Rotarian for 25 years, serving on a wide range of committees, with a particular interest in Community and International Service. Following a long career in Banking, Investment Management and Insurance, I have switched to a work / life balance job driving trains. I am also a Marriage Celebrant. I live with my partner Kathy in Petone and, for recreation, enjoy Highland dancing, tramping and touring on our Harley Davidson.
