Notes from the President

Many of you went to this weeks social event at the Tivoli Cinema where we watched the 1967 movie The Graduate.

Thanks to Bev Maul Rogers, Eric Hillerton and those who contributed to the running of the night and the nibbles/treats that we enjoyed while having a drink before going into the theatre.

On Monday Bev Maul Rogers, Malinda and I attended a thank you morning tea hosted by Cambridge Committee of Social Services. There were many other organisations present all of whom had contributed to their annual Christmas Cheer.

Our club was presented with a certificate of appreciated for our contribution.

I also received a thank you email from the Passport Club of Rotorua for our contribution (several clubs in 9930 made a contribution) to a ride on mower which was shipped to the Model Homes Charitable Trust Koroipita Fiji.

The mower was purchased brand new and shipped to Latoka in a container along with many other items that had been requested. These goods have landed in Latoka and have been put to immediate use at the Model Homes site in Koroipita.

The Passport Club in Rotorua have an ongoing relationship with the Model Homes Charitable Trust in Koroipita and have sent many containers to them previously. Some of our members have also been involved in the construction of the village at Koroipita,

I will be away in New Plymouth next week. Shona has kindly offered to run the meeting on the 6^th of March.

Take care
