Note from the President
 
An interesting speaker this week with Gerry Westenberg outlining his vision for the Masonic Hotel. Personally I can’t wait until it is finished. Thanks to LesleyAnn and Richard for organising Gerry.
 
Nigel Donne and Eric Hillerton have now conducted their first Sergeant Sessions. Well done and thanks Nigel and Eric.
 
I mentioned at our meeting that Dennis Finn who has been doing the Bulletin for sometime now wants a break. This is an opportunity for someone else to take over or maybe share the role with another member. The Bulletin is a very important communication tool, Dennis has done a great job and someone else needs to step into this role. The number of Bulletins will decrease in time, to just two a month  - reporting in line with our Formal Meetings. This will mean a bit less for the Bulletin Editor in terms of frequency etc.  Please contact me directly if you are interested.
 
Take care everyone
Gary Smith
Guest Speaker - Gerry Westenberg, Masonic Hotel Restoration
This week Gerry Westenberg informed the club about his exciting plans for the restoration of the Masonic Hotel in Duke Street.
 
Gerry has been working on this project for some time and work is well underway. He is converting the Hotel into a boutique five star standard facility with 29 rooms, a commercial kitchen, a “Speak Easy Bar,” a restaurant, a café, conference facilities, a Garden Bar and more.
 
When finished there will be a name change. The Masonic will be known as  Clements when it opens.
 
The Masonic has been on that site for 112 years. Gerry has undertaken significant work to strengthen the building to meet the current earthquake standards. He is of a view that it now has one of the highest ratings in town.
 
Gerry's goal – to create the best Regional Hotel in NZ.
