Congratulations to Lea Hermon and Ken Rayner, co-presidents of Interact Club of Port Nicholson, in being inducted as Honorary members at our breakfast meeting on 29 July. We are proud to be associated with two inspiring young people, the talent and leadership skills they bring. Thank you to our Youth Director Anne, her committee and in particular, Gillian and Christopher, for their unwavering support of our Interactors.
Rotary Leadership Institute is holding a Rotary 101 learning and information workshop session on 3 September at the Avalon Fire Station. It is an opportunity for you to learn about Rotary, what it can do for you and what you can do for Rotary. It will be particularly useful for our newer members but also an opportunity for long standing members to get their battery recharged! I will be sending out an email to all members on this and how to register.
Our ambulance has arrived in Apia and is presently in the process of being cleared by customs. Gratefully, Jenners Worldwide Freight and the shipping company reduced their respective charges by around $1,000 because it was a Rotary project. A letter of thanks has been sent to Jenners. What we have achieved together is a fitting example of our vision ‘together we make a difference’
in this bulletin you will see a link to a Radio NZ news article about Kriddles Roberts, the recently appointed president of Waitakere Rotary Club. It is a truely inspiring story and an example of the changing face of Rotary. I urge you read the article and listen to the audio link.
See you all on Wednesday. Lou Sanson, Director General of DOC, is our guest speaker.
