FROM PRESIDENT IAN

  
This Week
 
Thank you, Alan & your committee for an informative evening at the Cambridge Cricket Pavilion on Thursday.
Although the overcast weather stopped play, the relentless rain subsided which allowed the evening to continue much as planned.
Andrew Bateman ably supported by Bill Macmillan gave those present, a back brief on the recent renovation of the building and some historical information on the cricket club. It was hearting to hear the history of the club and the support offered by individuals and businesses during the refurbishment of these facilities.
Bill remined us that the club offers cricket programmes to participants of all ages, genders, and abilities and to make contact on the following email cambridgejuniorcricket@gmail.com should you have a potential Cambridge Junior Cricket star in mind.
 
Next Week
A reminder that we have no rotary next week (5th week month). So, please enjoy your week at leisure and we will see you next Thursday 7th April back at Cambridge High School for the first of our monthly formal meetings. Let’s see who turns up having not read this bulletin…………
 
Rotary Foundation 
Please consider giving to the Rotary Foundation in this time of need.  I realize we are personally unable to solve the world’s problems, but I do know our desire to help is strong. By giving to the Rotary Foundation and encouraging others working toward the same goals, we will know that all funding generated, is directed to those who need it most.
 
Don’t Forget the Big Bike Film Night – Tickets $26 (Sunday 24 April 2022 7:00 PM) 
I’m ecstatic to announce details of this year's tour to you and our fellow cycling/ film fans around New Zealand. This, our 2022 collection, our 8th incantation, has 12 mesmerizing films that are as varied and diverse as you could hope for. The power of storytelling is at the forefront of what The Big Bike Film Night offers, and these stories have been specifically sought to delight you - our two-wheel devotee, whatever you ride.
For our burgeoning bike tour- we're going places! We ride into our regular places and this year, some new bike friendly locations - Takapuna, Thames, Gisborne, Reefton, and Kaikōura; all up visiting 42 locations across our great country, top to tail. 
I'm excited about it all (can you tell?), and below are details of our tour schedule. Brett from The Big Bike Film Night
Organiser – Cary Church
 
Webinar information for those interested
People of action are inventive, entrepreneurial, and resilient. We know what we stand for and why it matters. We’re driven by a sense of optimism — a belief that we are and will continue to be essential to our communities, to the world, and to humanity. 

To create a solid foundation for innovation, sustainability, and growth, we need to seek new opportunities, embrace creative ideas, and take strategic risks. This kind of evolution can be difficult. But it’s essential if we want to create more paths to leadership, welcome new voices, and simplify how we get things done. Let’s stay true to ourselves and stay ahead of change in our next 115 years. 

Join us for the fourth webinar in our Engaging Members + Delivering Value series, Increasing our Ability to Adapt. Register now for one of the sessions using the hyperlinks—this is also where you can learn about the speakers and submit your questions. A recording will be available to everyone who registers. 

REGISTER NOW: Wednesday, 27 April 18:00 (UTC-5). See the time in a city near you.  Interpretation will be offered in Japanese, Korean, and Mandarin.  
REGISTER NOW: Thursday, 28 April 11:00 (UTC-5). See the time in a city near you. This is a replay with live Q&A. Interpretation will be offered in French, Portuguese, and Spanish.  
  
During this webinar we will speak to participants who have prioritized new perspectives and ideas to adapt to a changing world and strengthen their clubs.  

We look forward to hearing your thoughts and questions.  
 
Sincerely,  
The Membership Development Team 
Rotary International 
 
See you all in two weeks
President Ian
 
 
 
 
Presidents Breakfast

Guest speaker at the breakfast will be Matamata Rotarian Michelle Tanner who is district 9930's RGECAF Marketing Chair. She will provide information on the project and bring us up to date on latest developments and activity.
