Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner 2017 – Don’t miss out! -- Dates: 4th and 11th November 2017
• This is a fantastic opportunity for Club members to have fun and get to know each other better, particularly for newer members
• Details of who’s hosting whom remain top secret until late afternoon on the day of the event!
• Pot luck format: everyone brings a plate – starter, salad/veges or dessert, as allocated by the organiser
• Host prepares main course • BYO wine
• This is a Shelter Box fundraiser. We’re aiming to buy one at a cost of $1500.
In the past every participant, host or guest, has paid $30 to the host on the evening of the dinner.
• THIS TIME, the AMOUNT DONATED will be a matter of choice with everyone placing his/her offering in an envelope with their name on it. Again, the hosts will collect these.
RLI (I had to google this one to find out what it is): for you equally ignorant people out there it is:, to quote: “Rotary Leadership Institute, A weekend of learning about Rotary.. Organised by our very own Roberta. This Rotary year, in Napier, now 20 days away, or in Rotorua in March. Contact her for details.
Rotary International Student Exchange; we have a request to host a student. The only problem is a shortage of hosts. If you are even vaguely interested in hosting, please contact David Robinson PDQ.
Our good doctor, Neil, outed himself on returning from his operation. The chocolate given to him by the club was very healthy, and a great aid to recovery.
