THIS WEEK'S NOTICES

Posted by Sean Brady

President’s message ….

Productive committee meetings were held this evening at our Club meeting and I thank those members who stood in for Directors who were unable to be present. The outcome of discussion at each committee is shown in the notes below.

New Member: I had the pleasure of inducting Chris Smiley into the club this evening and it was lovely to meet his wife, Hilary. We welcome Chris to the fellowship of Rotary and look forward to his new member talk in the future. Chris will join the Community Committee.

Good news that John Bishop is progressing – I am sure this is in no small way due to his positive attitude. He’s not ready for an influx of visitors yet.

Thank you to those members who purchased the Interplast raffle tickets last week. If you have not yet paid for tickets purchased please note that it is cash only rather than charging to your Rotary account. Roger Hill will be in contact.

Charity Dinner – Friday 16 April 6.00pm: Once again we urge all members to support this fundraiser for Pet Refuge and the Rural Support Trust. Please sign up to attend the Dinner and/or donate an auction item. We need to have a full house (350 tickets on sale). Don’t forget that Laurie Graham is looking for members to donate a bottle of wine for the raffle – so bring along your contribution to a club meeting. He is also looking for people to help out on the promotional stall that will be set up outside the BNZ this coming week.

By the time you receive this bulletin, another Firewood Working bee will have been held. I look forward to hearing of a good turnout to enjoy the fresh air and good fellowship to help boost the funds for Give every child a Future and Shelterbox.

Hamilton Gardens Tour and Meal – re-scheduled Thursday, 25 March 5.00pm. We have a good number signed up for this vocational meeting. So don’t forget – no meeting at the High School next week, rather go to Hamilton Gardens by the earlier time of 5.00pm.

Together with other Rotarians and partners I will be heading to Matakana tomorrow for our weekend away. Don Wilson has planned a great weekend with lots to do and see.

Meeting Notes 25 February 2021

Guests for the evening were Chris Smiley and wife

President Bev provided news of John Bishop’s progress – he is improving daily, but still no visitors, please.

She then inducted Chris Smiley into the Club. Chris, originally from Ireland, was involved in a medical practice in Morrinsville for many years. He and wife then spent time in charity work in SE Asia, and have now retired to Cambridge.

Community project

It was decided to investigate installing a seat alongside the cycle way out to Karapiro.

International:
- As our main International Project is to support Rotary International's Give Every Child A Future, we intend most of the firewood proceeds to go to this cause with some also going to ShelterBox.

- New Member Event

This event is coming up on Thursday 6 May. This meeting will have a changed format and is designed to showcase Rotary through the lens of our club. We are looking to attract new members and will need the help of everyone in the club. Each member can be expected to be contacted to supply names of prospective members. Have a chat with neighbours, friends, work colleagues-those that would be a valuable asset to our club. They will receive an official invitation, so get hold of their email address as well.

If you have any names of people already, please contact me so I can get a database of names underway.
