Hello fellow Rotarians,
We are just home from a lovely weekend at the Mount. The winter sunshine has made me feel much better. I hope those who have had Covid are continuing to recover and regain strength.
This week’s meeting is at our new temporary venue The Manurewa Cosmopolitan (Cossie) Club 6 -10 Alfriston Road, Manurewa. Please sign in at the entrance and come to the bar area, we have a room for our meeting. The dinner is a buffet style.
Wednesday 20th July at 5.30pm for dinner at 6pm Meeting at 6.45pm this week is committee meetings.
The Rotary Youth Program of Enrichment (RYPEN) runs from Friday 22 to 24 July 2022 out at Kokako Lodge, Hunua. Good luck to Tim and all the team running the Camp. We know that all the students will have a wonderful time and the RYPEN camp is really a life changer for the students.
In last weeks bulletin I missed thanking Bruce for his hard work over on the island for RYLA. My apologies that I missed your name Bruce.
This week got the sad news that Peter Sutherland, a past member of our Club and a Paul Harris Fellow passed away on Tuesday last week in Carterton where he and Jan had retired to. Peter joined the Club in the 86/87 year and remained a member until he retired in 2012. We send our deepest sympathy to Jan and all the family at this sad time.
Finally, I must mention the rugby. I am a very happy Irish rugby fan and my Irish eyes are smiling. Drinks are on me at Wednesday nights meeting. You can celebrate the win or drown your sorrows.Yours in Rotary Service
Anne
Rotarianism thrives in all places where men (and women) think and their hearts are large enough to include the cares of others.
