Bulletin 14/05/20
Posted by Bev Maul-Rogers
 
Virtual meeting via Zoom, Thursday 14 May, 5.00pm
President Robyn welcomed all members and prospective member David Partis as well as Guest Speaker Kelly Bouzaid – CEO of the Cambridge Chamber of Commerce.
 
Guest Speaker – Kelly Bouzaid, CEO, Cambridge Chamber of Commerce
Kelly provided an update on recent Chamber activities and the launch of a Virtual Cambridge using our Totally Locally Cambridge brand.  She explained that the concept behind the adaptation of the Totally Locally Cambridge website is to enhance the connection of people to the businesses in Cambridge that are offering virtual services during Level 3/2 of COVID-19 and beyond. SME's are the bedrocks of our communities, and when they thrive, they create real jobs, cohesive towns and strong economies. Which is the essence of the brand.  Check out www.totallylocallycambridge.co.nz 
 
Cambridge was a hive of activity on the first day of Level 2 and she hoped this would continue.  Most retailers were observing the government “rules” of this Alert Level, however Kelly was concerned at those that were not.  She urged people to shop locally and if every adult in Cambridge spent $10 a week within the town this would make the world of difference to the economy here.
 
 
Congratulations and best wishes
Don Wilson announced that on 11 April, he and Ailsa had been married under a liquid amber tree in the grounds of St Stephens Church in Tamahere.  All present congratulated Don and raised their glass.
 
Magic Moment – Elaine Ruis
Elaine said over the last few weeks she had used local businesses particularly on line that she had not used before or previously didn’t know about.  There was no need to go outside of Cambridge to get most things one needs. Using these had certainly created Magic Moments for her.
 
NOTICES
 
e-meetings to continue
President Robyn said the e-meetings would continue for a few weeks yet and that Andrew and LesleyAnn would be organizing guest speakers for most Thursdays.  It would be possible to have international speakers as well as they could join via the internet.  Look out for the roster of those assigned to introduce and offer thanks and if you’re not able to join the meeting please arrange a substitute and let Bill or Robyn know.
 
Board meeting 19 May
The Board has a scheduled meeting on Tuesday 19 May and would be discussing “where to from here”.

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.
 
DISTRICT NEWS

The meetings will be held one after the other.  Rotarians are invited to join. More details on how to connect will be circulated shortly.
