Thirty people gathered for our pre-Christmas event at Marsden on 7 December. We were delighted to also have Life members Wally Simmers, David Sercombe and Brian Souter present with their wives, and to also welcome Gloria Biggs, and past members Bill Joyce and Doug Webb and their wives at our dinner.
The Harbour Capital Chorus again entertained with the addition of Karori Rotarian members Doug Langford and John Barton. Fellow Chorus member Richard Oldham and Pip were away for this function.
Plenty of festive spirit came to us from the rich voices of the Harbour Capital Chorus with a full range of Christmas songs.
As District coordinator for Christmas pudding sales the Rotary Club of Karori has been doing the rounds delivering puddings and running its own pudding stands at the Karori Mall on 7th and 14th December engaging with our local community. Unfortunately bad weather prevented the Khandallah Fair taking place on Sunday 8 December so an opportunity was lost there to help our friends in the Rotary Club of Kau Kau with pudding sales. Nevertheless our community leaders were very supportive of the Club with new Mayor Andy Foster buying from us and also National List MP Nicola Willis pictured on our sales stand in the Karori Mall on 14 December with Henk Rood, Krystle Crimmins, David Watt and President Phil Oliver.
We are looking forward to a good return on pudding sales to help our commitment to community projects. With a good break post Christmas we will be back in full gear again working on our Rotary plans and support for important causes in Wellington.
