At our Wednesday meeting, I was reminded how special the bond is within our club membership. We can share quite openly our celebrations, challenges, achievements, milestones, traumas, and little foibles that make us unique and happen to all of us during our lives, with an implicit assurance that members will be genuinely receptive and supportive whatever the news (and even laugh with you if it’s appropriate!).
It is a special bond to be treasured and I do hope our newer members pick up on this. It is something that is not just unique to our club but shared throughout Rotary clubs around the world, but nonetheless, I think we have it in spades within our club!
At our 20th March meeting, PDG and PP Howard Tong will lead the club meeting while Bev and eight club members depart for Queenstown, en route to Te Anau, to complete the Kepler Track.
Please wish us a safe and healthy return!
Postscript:
The tragic attack on Friday has affected so many and sadly, raised our levels of consciousness to how quickly the values that we live by as Rotarians, as New Zealanders, can be threatened.
My thoughts and support to members who have been affected, or have family and friends affected by this violent attack on innocent members of our society.
Kia kaha
Bev
We extend our thanks and gratitude to Bill and Sue Day for donating a data projector to our club. Since January, Bill has kindly lent us his own portable projector and we very much appreciate having a projector permanently located at The Wellington Club for future meetings.
Please note my light-hearted assertion that the projector ‘fell off the back of the truck’ was totally untrue. It was purchased through a legitimate payment process and I did not intend to tarnish Bill’s reputation!
