FROM PRESIDENT IAN

This Week
 
A huge turn out this week with over 40 in attendance, a big thank-you for your support. Mayor Jim accompanied by Robyn joined the meeting as our guest speaker, introduced by Jono and thanked by Lesley Anne after several questions (thankfully for Jim none referred to 3 Waters).
Great to have the opportunity to re-induct Sarah Gordon back into the club, rumour has it Sarah is stepping straight into sergeant duties next term, partnering with Brain Palmer…. We can’t wait.
 
With the appointment of Rollo Webb as President Nominee, John Bishop now has his full team in place for his term as president.  It won’t that long before changeover in July, and I can only but hope John gets a clear run though his calendar without interruption from COVID related events.
 
Bev Maul Rogers during her Our Rotary World, spoke poignantly about our fellow rotary clubs in Ukraine.  According to the United Nations, more than 3.5 million people, most of them women and children, have sought refuge in neighbouring countries and across Europe, while about 7 million more people have been displaced within Ukraine.
 
Rotary and Rotaract clubs in Europe and around the world have taken swift action and are working with members nearby to provide food, water, medical equipment, and shelter for refugees.
 
The Rotary Foundation has created an official channel for Rotary members and other donors around the world to contribute funds to support relief efforts underway by Rotary districts. The Foundation has designated the Disaster Response Fund as the main avenue for this.
The fund, to date, has received more than $7.3 million in contributions.
 
Next Week
Our monthly committee meetings next week, this your chance to give John Bishop your views/ideas on what we might need to do to make progress into 2022/23. Its your club and we need your input should we wish to develop and enhance on previous years.  Please attend where you are able.
 
Rotary Foundation 
Please consider giving to the Rotary Foundation in this time of need.  I realise we are personally unable to solve the world’s problems, but I do know our desire to help is strong. By giving to the Rotary Foundation and encouraging others working toward the same goals, we will know that all funding generated, is directed to those who need it most.
 
President Ian
 
 
 
Presidents Breakfast 
 
A very enjoyable President’s Breakfast was held this morning (Sunday) at the Cambridge Community Pavilion.  54 Rotarians and partners were in attendance and included representatives from Matamata Rotary who had arranged for the Chair and Treasurer of Matamata Interact to be present.  Michelle Tanner, Marketing Chair for Rotary Give Every Child a Future provided a lively update and further background of this very worthwhile vaccination programme for children and women in nine
Pacific countries
 
 
Breakfast was enjoyed and there was plenty of time for fellowship which Rotarians and partners were obviously hanging out for by the sound of all the chatter that resounded around the room.
 
Raffle draws were won as follows:
 
Trailer load of fire – Shirley Haycock (which she donated back)
Grocery Hamper A – Deb Robinson
Grocery Hamper B – Bev Heron
2 bottles wine – Peter Thissen (Matamata)
2 bottles wine – Liz Grant – which was donated back for auction.  Shona Devoy was the highest bidder.
 
Funds raised from ticket sales and raffle proceeds will go to the “Give Every Child a Future” Project.
 
Cambridge members were reminded of the opportunity to personally donate to this worthwhile project and could include donations representing family members @ $45 each which is the cost of one vaccination.
 
 
Thanks – Bev M-R
