RYLA

We proudly support RYLA (Rotary Young-Person Leadership Awards), the week-long leadership development programme for 20-28 year-old's. The live-in programme designed to help young people develop their team work and communication skills and fulfill their potential as leaders. We are looking for young people who are keen to seize this amazing opportunity so if you know someone who 'fits the bill' please speak with Martin.

Applications are open until the 30 April 2019.

Lily on the Speaking Circuit

All that practice that Lily has with her 'one minutes' to the club each week came in very handy as she was the Guest Speaker at Otahuhu Rotary Club on Tuesday. She did a great job sharing a little about her life in France and then her experiences as a Rotary Youth Exchange student here in New Zealand. She delivered her presentation with confidence and did a wonderful job at promoting the benefits of being part of such an outstanding Rotary Programme.

A big thanks to Kerry!

Bernie Kay and daughter Kerry van Tiel

Last week we were able to show our appreciation to Kerry van Tiel, for all her hard work in preparation for Papakura Christmas Parade each year. The countless hours she spends are gratefully received by the Community committee and we hope she enjoys a lovely evening out at Urban Soul!

Edmund Hillary School Camp

Edmund Hillary School has organised a camp for 90 of their year 6-8 students in mid- May. They will go to the YMCA’s Camp Adair at Hunua. This will be the first camp the school has held for over 12 years. The cost is close to $28,000, and with assistance from various trusts they have raised a considerable amount towards the cost. Dave Lockwood from Camp Adair approached our club to see if we could assist with the balance required of about $6,000.
