Note from the President
This week we enjoyed our first social event under our new format which was at The Cambridge Distillery Co in Alpha Street. About 20 attended. William Rendell, the Distiller, did a great job introducing and explaining the various Gins that we sampled. We were able to view the production still and its working were explained.
 
Those that wanted to were able to purchase a bottle or two following the tasting. This was an interesting evening.
 
William generously donated the cost of attending to the club. Thanks to Shona and LesleyAnn for organising this.
 
This week we are also profiling some or our activities over recent times.
 
Take care
Gary Smith
A look at some of what our club has been doing this week:
Garden Festival Launch
This occurred on Thursday morning at Amber Garden Festival over a morning tea and then a behind the scenes tour of Amber. About 27 Gardeners and sponsors/supporters attended.
 
The tickets will go on sale on the 9th of August. There will be publicity about this event in the Cambridge News and on the Cambridge Garden Festival Website soon.
 
Tree Planting
 
Another fantastic afternoon this Friday where Rotary joined with Waipa Council and planted another 500 trees and shrubs. Most of the money for the trees was raised at/after conference and Waipa Council again matched our contribution.
 
The trees and holes are provided by Restore Native and over 13 volunteers including Rotarians assisted with the planting. It was  fun and there is more to do so watch this space.
 
 
 
Urban Miners
July has been another steady month for Urban Miners.  They have held our normal monthly programme of three different events over successive Sundays – an e waste public collection in Te Awamutu, followed by our recycled devices sales stand at the Lions Trash and Treasure Market, followed by an e waste public collection in Cambridge.
 
All three events were successful, and Urban Miners achieved about $3,000 of total income.  There was excellent support from Rotarians from both Te Awamutu and Cambridge Clubs for these events. This was especially important for the Cambridge collection because a number of our community volunteers were unavailable.
 
During the month Urban Miners completed quite a large collection of commercial e waste from Cambridge High School.
 
Meanwhile the team at our Arnold Street depot continue to churn through the work dismantling e waste with such efficiency that they easily keep up with the incoming e waste from our collections.
 
Volunteers for Daffodil Day
 
In recent times the Club has supported the Cancer Society with its major Daffodil Day fundraiser.  The Cancer Society relies on clubs like ours to look after the various stands across the region because they don't have the workforce to do that themselves. 
 
This year there will be a stand at Mitre 10 Cambridge on Friday 30th and Saturday 31st August.  We're seeking volunteers to attend the stand for 2 hours at a time from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm on those days.  Ideally we'd like two people per shift and partners are very welcome to help.  
 
If you are able to support this work please contact Dennis Finn on 027 281 4113 or dgfinn@xtra.co.nz with details of your preferred date and time.
