Hi to you all,
Trusting you are keeping warm as we work our way through these winter months. Past President Phil Oliver reported he had tested positive for covid last week so we wish Phil a quick recovery as he and Liz prepare for their overseas trip this month to Japan and China.
I am sorry I had to miss our visit to the Mt Victoria Club on 25 July as I was away on leave. It is always good catching up with Rotary friends in other clubs. We are hoping that members of Mt Vic and also Johnsonville Rotary will join us in Karori when DG Wayne Gordon comes on 10 October as his official Club visit. Having a good number of Rotarians together and joining forces with other clubs makes these gatherings very special.
We have a busy time ahead, with our Club Forum meeting next Tuesday 8 August, and other big events in September, including facilitating the General Election meeting with the Karori Resident’s Association for Wellington Central candidates on 25 September and our combined dinner meeting with Karori Lions two days later. We will also have a club meeting in September with two Rotarians actively involved with the ‘Lifting the Lid’ on youth suicide, giving us with an update on this programme, with hopefully a school counsellor representative also coming along. We are committed to this project and will support further with another quiz evening later in the year.
Please come with your ideas on future projects and meetings for our Club Forum at our meeting on Tuesday.
Regards
President Jay.
