Welcome to the 2018-19 Rotary year!

 

Thank you for your support and to everyone who could attend the changeover. It was a great night.

 

To recap, the Rotary International 2018-19 theme is “Be the Inspiration”. My vision for this year is to inspire others to provide leadership in our community.

 

We can do this by example, through our leadership, being connected and visible in our community. We will also be engaging with Rotaract and Interact on joint projects. To do this, we need all members engaged in club projects and activities.

 

If you haven’t got a copy of the club structure with lead coordinators listed, I can email it or you can pick up a copy at our next meeting. We still have a few gaps for lead coordinators and plenty of areas where you can opt in and be involved. I will finalise the list by 16 July and may be in contact if you’re silent, to see how you want to be involved in our club this year.

 

I aim to be an inspiration to you, to seeing Port Nicholson make a strong contribution towards a sustainable future for our club and the community.

 

Rotaract is organising a screening of Incredibles 2 at the Embassy Cinema in Wellington CBD on the 22nd of July for deserving children and their families. Rotaract Wellington is a charity organisation run by young people in Wellington looking to affect positive change in their communities, attached at the end of this email is a document with some further information on this. We hope this evening will be a night of fun for these wonderful people as we are planning many fun surprises; children from the Central Regional Health School, the Wellington Children’s Hospital and from schools around the Wellington Community will be receiving the tickets to attend the screening.

 

We believe this event provides these children and families with something they may otherwise not have gotten, a few hours just to be kids and to enjoy a wonderful movie in a way that brings the community together.  

 

In order to make this happen for these children we are seeking business sponsorship for tickets - all money raised will go back into the Wellington Children’s Hospital in order to further a good cause in our community. The tickets will be sold in batches of two or more to ensure the children can bring a guardian, tickets are $16 each and prices are as follows, this can be invoiced to your business:

 

2 Tickets $32             3 Tickets $48             4 Tickets $64                         5 Tickets $80

 

We have picked this cause as we feel it brings the community together, both families and businesses in a wholly positive way; this is something we know you understand. If you wish to sponsor tickets for these children please let us know of the number of tickets you wish to provide, we also offer the option of providing the tickets to a deserving family that you or your company may know. We offer sponsors the option of being featured on all promotional material for the event and advertising material distributed in goodie bags.
