THIS WEEK'S NOTICES

 
 
President’s message ….
…. What an enjoyable and interesting speaker we had on our Zoom meeting on Thursday in Rick Bosacker.  We learnt a lot about the physical and mental health benefits of cycling and how it gives fellowship opportunities.  We thank Rick for taking time out to speak to us and for his group cycling initiative in Cambridge.
 
We will be back in Alert Level 1 on Sunday and I’m looking forward to meeting in person on Thursday at Cambridge High School when our speaker will be Elizabeth Wright talking about Rotary’s programme – Interplast.
 
Sadly, Linda Tarbutt’s mother, Lois passed away this week in Auckland.  Linda was able to travel to Auckland and arrived prior to her mother’s passing. Our sympathies to Linda and John at this difficult and sad time.
 
Charity Dinner – by now you will be chatting to your family and friends to arrange a great night out on Friday 16 April – the Charity Dinner.  We have a number of sponsors but need more and we all need to put the message out there to our business acquaintances and seek their support through sponsoring, donating quality auction items as well as buying tickets.  I’m really looking forward to hearing Greg Murphy speak and also to learn more about the work of Pet Refuge and their building project progress.
 
Hamilton Gardens Tour and Meal – re-scheduled Thursday, 25 March 5.00pm.  As we have previously announced, the vocational visit to Hamilton Gardens with meal at the café to follow has been re-scheduled to Thursday, 25 March at 5.00pm.  The tour costs $10 and the meal $25.  Partners and other guests are welcome. Please let me know if you are going to be attending, with numbers, by emailing beverleymaulrogers@gmail.com. We had 72 attending for the postponed date including representation from Te Awamutu who will also come along on the 25th. Let’s have a good turnout to view these beautiful and unique gardens, enjoy fellowship and host our Te Awamutu colleagues.
 
Urban Miners – Rotary Cambridge Recycling e-waste –Saturday morning I went out to Roto-o-rangi School where the team had an e-waste collection point and also enjoyed muffins especially prepared by Anne Blewden.  I then went to our e-waste base and saw what the working bee had achieved in setting up a slick operation.  All is so tidy and clean with a barrel/bin, shelf, bench or particular place for similar items. Ready for transport to the recycling centre were shrink-wrapped pallets of items clearly labelled with the contents. A nice tearoom is situated separately within the building and there are toilet facilities.  Congratulations to the team and those who volunteered to help at the working bee.  There will be an opportunity for Rotarians to view on-site progress in the future.  Well worth a look.
 
Have a good week under Level 1 and I look forward to another great evening of Rotary fellowship on Thursday at the High School.
