Bulletin 30/04/20
Posted by Bev Maul-Rogers
 
Virtual meeting via Zoom, Thursday 30 April, 5.00pm
President Robyn welcomed all members, plus Assistant Governor – David Hulme, prospective member – David Partis, partners of members and guest speaker Kelvin Eglinton.
 
Guest Speaker – Kelvyn Eglinton – CEO Momentum Waikato
Introduction of the guest speaker was in the hands of Andrew Bateman.
 
Kelvyn thanked Rotary for the invitation to speak.  He has been back in New Zealand since 2016 and prior to that spent time overseas including in Jakarta and West Australia where he worked in mining. He has also worked in the local government sector.
 
Momentum Waikato is a foundation that manages funds received through bequests and philanthropic donations to support community organisations and are the perpetual guardians of the monies received.  They work with donors to fund various projects that benefit the community and carry out the wishes of those who have made donations eg conservation projects such as Taitua Arboretum.  Momentum works with various organisations such as the Waikato Regional Theatre, Waikato DHB and projects around affordable housing.  The interest from funds invested is assigned to projects and sometimes capital is used.
 
An appeal has been set up to raise funds in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.  People can donate via the website to help get food and winter essentials for Waikato’s most vulnerable during and after the pandemic. Grants are given to frontline organisations. So far $63,000 has been raised.
 
President Robyn thanked Kelvyn for his presentation and congratulated him on the work of Momentum Waikato.
 
NOTICES
 
Firewood delivery
Ken Leatham provided an update.  Not a lot of firewood is left but we should be able to honour current orders.  Ken will advise about organising a further working bee in the future.
 
Suggestion – community get together under Level 1 or 2
Ken Leatham suggested that the club could organise a community get together under an appropriate Alert Level.  This would give Rotary a profile, stimulate the local community and support “local”.  It was suggested that a plan be put together so that the project could proceed at the time this is allowed.  Feedback was sought on this suggestion – either to Ken or President Robyn.
 
Taste Waikato promotion
As reported last bulletin, the Board supported the proposal for Jan Bilton to go ahead with a further Taste Waikato promotion in time for Mother’s Day.  The promotion will be done via social media and the website.  Every purchaser will go into a draw to win a food hamper worth over $100.  Books will be posted to avoid physical contact. Members were asked to share the Taste Waikato Facebook post with their own FB friends.  Anyone who has trouble with the process can talk with LesleyAnn who will be happy to help.
 
Keeping in touch
Ian Grant advised that the weekly ring around of people who were unable to join Zoom meetings was happening.
 
Magic Moment
From next week – 7 May – the Magic Moment will continue.  John Tarbutt has drawn up a roster which is published below.  If you are unable to join our online meeting on the date you are scheduled please arrange for a substitute.

NOTICES FROM LAST WEEK - REMINDER
 
Salvation Army Food Bank collection – contributions of unperishable food
President Robyn has been reading that the Salvation Army is running very short on supplies for their Food Banks and suggests that members may like to contribute an item of unperishable food to the collection boxes when they go to the supermarket.  Collection boxes are stationed at Countdown and Fresh Choice. People can also go online on https://www.salvationarmy.org.nz/help-us/donations
 
This is one way we can make a difference to families in need at this particular time and help our community.
 
Call for help from Hospice Waikato
President Robyn received an email from District Governor Peter Maxwell who had been approached by Hospice Waikato for help.  As you know their shops have been shut down for the last few weeks.  They are now looking ahead to their re-opening and they need help with sorting stock, moving furniture, washing bric-a-brac, hanging clothing, dusting etc.
 
The Board OK’d this request to be sent out to Rotarians, on the same basis as an earlier request from Neighbourhood Support that anyone who would like to help make contact as an individual.  Please be aware that social distancing and other health measures will be required.
 
If you would like to assist please make contact directly with the Cambridge Store Manager - Justine Webb-Elliott - 027 3422383
 
Cyclone Harold and call for Donations for Emergency Response Kits
A reminder that Stuart Batty of RNZWCS has sent out a call for donations for Emergency Response Kits (ERKs).  The appeal is for stock in preparation for the next adverse event and to replenish stock following distribution to affected communities following Cyclone Harold. The cost of a kit is $600 but any donation will be gratefully received with a certificate issued to the donees. To make a donation - online banking 03 1702 0192208 01 ref 308 or go to www.rnzwcs.org

Support the Greatest Needs Appeal

 
We can help you meet your community’s Greatest Needs.
Momentum Waikato is the Waikato’s community foundation, here to ‘Create a better Waikato for everyone, forever’. 
The ‘Greatest Needs Appeal’ is our regional response to the Covid-19 crisis. 100% of your donation will be directed back into your community, to where the need is the greatest. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

‘Here to help u’ is ready to support anyone and everyone

 
Immediate aid to the vulnerable, delivered in a way that builds a stronger society after the crisis, is the focus of the COVID-19 relief effort coordinated by the Waikato’s lead social and community service providers and supported by Momentum Waikato and other major local funders.
‘Here to help u through COVID-19’ is a new online community support tool and network centered around a website, www.heretohelpu.nz, where any member of the public can quietly ask for help, and individuals, families, businesses and organisations can securely and easily target their offers of assistance.
It is the ‘front counter’ for a wide and coordinated support effort that aims to ensure anyone suffering hardship during the COVID-19 lockdown and beyond can easily request and get the help they need, regardless of their walk of life.
Wise Group and Community Waikato teamed up to coordinate and lead the effort, which involves a range of providers and funders, including (in no particular order) Volunteering WaikatoKaivolutionThe Salvation ArmyTrust WaikatoThe Department of Internal AffairsHamilton City Council and Momentum Waikato, alongside an ever-widening cast of other much-appreciated community groups and organisations.
