President Rhonda… Welcome to Committee Meetings! 
 
 
 
Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner – Michelle is in Australia so organisational oversight has fallen to Simon. Get your name down for as host/guest/both for one or both nights. Dates are 17th April and 1st May. Fund raiser for Shelter Box 
 
Car Rally – 10th April is the big day.
This is a great opportunity to fight and squabble in juvenile fashion with your loved ones. If you can’t read a map, then maybe you could at least learn to fold it.
Henry has emailed the details. There is also an optional dinner to follow. 
 
Change Over set for lunch the 3rd July at Omokoroa Boat Club. Save the date.
 
RYPEN this Weekend. Save the date.

Multi-Cultural Event – Three thousand people attended this event – Many thanks from Shiv to those who helped out.
 
Fine Homes Tour 25th March 2022 – will either be in Bethlehem/Lakes, Papamoa/Mount or Merivale/Greerton. An opportunity to see how the rich and famous live.
 
Other Initiatives that rated a mention: Quiz Night, Indian Ink Reprise, a Grey NOMAD (?) Threads Across the Pacific, and the Vanuatu Library, Red Puppies, and Adult Literacy. You really needed to be there to grasp the entire gambit. Shame on you if you weren’t.
 
Raffle: Barry Fredheim in the winner’s circle again.
 
Sergeant Session: Pat Taylor with an Irish mother’s epistle to her son. Best bit was about a house-warming present for a new igloo! 
 
 
Parting Thought:  Shiv Thamalla
