Birthdays – Linda Birch
Committee meeting next week – same time same place.
Ursula reminded us about the Presidents citation that we should each plant a tree this year. She is planting hers this week. Also when you do it please email both rotary international and Shane Jones (as his billion tree target needs a wee boost ! )
Ian Burns has a spare 7’s ticket however by the time you read this it’s too late – sorry Ian
Dave Robinson introduced our Rotary exchange student Eduardo. Seemed a nice young fellow but no one understood a word he said (somewhat akin to Andy’s grace) apart from the fact he was from District 4510.
However, he probably had no idea what we were all babbling on about either. Anyway if you are doing something cool and fun let David know and Eduardo could tag along. By the end of it all, he will understand what we are on about and that today’s grace was really taking the P#&!ss. – more about that later.
Warren advised the K Valley bike event is all go. We need 22 volunteers to help on 3rd of March. We really need to get behind this event as it is the first one and a great idea
Fun fact – the International Taupo Tri and annual around Taupo cycle challenge was started as a Rotary project.
This K valley idea has wheels !!
Change over dinner date set for 6/7/2018. Pasta optional
Barbara Whitton still needs some volunteers for the last cricket match 28/2/18. From 12 noon to 10.30 pm.
Two appeals coming up being Heart Foundation 23 Feb and Guide Dogs appeal 23 March. Both at Red Square.
Another fun fact – since August 17 we have done 281 volunteer hours over three collections gaining $1,797.
Erica Holtsbaun was welcomed into the club and will join the Community Services Committee.
