SUE’S SNIPPET
Trust you all enjoyed the Easter Weekend holiday- and if you are taking advantage of another long weekend with Queens Birthday, you continue to enjoy it into next week.
Such great news with the traffic light system moving to Orange - finally we have the Bike Show to look forward on 14th/May.
Another great guest speaker via zoom with Jordan chatting on her job as TVNZ 1 News Sports Reporter. Firstly Jordan acknowledged the contribution Rotary had given enabling her time on the Spirit of Adventure as a trainee. She spoke of her career in broadcasting, plus the high's & low's of her time in reporting on the Olympics and Paralympics under the state's watchful eye. Jordan's passion for her current role and the future both grass roots and representative sport in New Zealand was refreshing and made for a very interesting meeting. Thank you to Warren Mills for inviting her along to speak.
As per my email to you all on Monday, thank you for your patience and understanding over the past weeks whilst we have met on zoom. A combination of Omicron and the sudden closure of the RSA has challenged the club. Rest assured things have been ticking along and a sincere thank you to everyone for keeping our cogs turning. We look forward to meeting together in a new venue as soon as this is finalised and I acknowledge those who are working on this.
PJ'S FOR KIDS PROJECT - 42 pairs to go ...
Thank you from Martin for the PJ's he has received. His collection will continue you for a while yet so the PJ's can be dropped off to Martin's home or work or wait till we return to meeting in person.
2022 target = 50!
SUNSHINE FUND - have you sent your Sunshine Fund ideas to Steve?!
Our treasurer, Steve is looking for your ideas for how to take the cash out but keep the fun in of running our Sergeants sessions. In an evolving non-cash (coinage) society and an increasing lack of actual banks where one can deposit a heap of coins, the challenge is on to modernise our Sergeant's sessions without compromising the joy it brings us all!
Please bombard Steve with emails and texts with all your ideas!
Next two weeks meetings:
21st April - dinner at Tipparost Thai Restaurant rvsp to event invite by Wed, 21st (7pm) please
28th April - another dinner night supporting one of our local eateries, t.b.a.
Take care of yourself & family, Sue
