New Member Talk
 
If you are not attending, please register your apology in the normal manner
 
From President David
Quite a good turnout on Thursday for Committee Meetings and there was definitely a lot of discussion generated.
 
We heard from Ted Mason on The Way We Were and it was interesting hearing about a combined project between the Putaruru Rotary Club and our Club back in 2006. Ted talked to us about a combined building project both Clubs worked on at the time. Always good to look back at some of the successes of our past.
 
Our IYE student Marie seems to be enjoying her South Island trip and I shared a few photos from her first week there with the Club.
 
Looking forward to meeting Phillipe Declerk from Le Quesnoy Rotary Club and his wife Axelle on Saturday and also looking forward to the President's Breakfast on Sunday.
 
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
David Partis

AND THE TOAST
 
At our regular meetings we will toast the members of a Rotary club in another part of the world. The toast reminds us of the international nature of Rotary and that clubs like ours are active and doing good on every continent and it is one of our 3 focus areas this year, Rotary Awareness. The duty involves researching a Rotary Club somewhere in the world, making contact with them, sourcing an image or brief on the club and we have a toast to the Club.  Ideally finding out things like: the size of the Club, ratio of males to females, age of the Club, main Community Projects and Fundraising activities gives us an appreciation of the wider Rotary World. (Pres David happy for you to include a Power Point of slide of club if needed.  He is happy to assist with this and advise as needed.
