President Cheryl's Message.
 
 
Hi everyone
 
Wow-what a great speaker last Tuesday. Police Officer Jan Gibbs, is responsible for keeping our community safe, in particular working with our youth. A very professional presentation from someone who takes her responsibilities seriously. It’s comforting to know she has our back so to speak. In contrast this coming week we have Catherine Irvine from the Council’s waste management team speaking. I’m aware they’ve chanted their processes over the past year or so, remember the topless campaign? It will be good to hear from those on the coalface as to the Council’s policy and processes.
Don’t forget to invite friends and family who are interested in doing the right thing for the environment.
 
Yours aye
Cheryl

The End of Last week's Meeting.
 
Those of you on zoom last week have advised you missed the end of the meeting and my brief closing words of wisdom. You’ve requested I publish them here. Not earth-shattering or deep and meaningful. Relevant to the week and the news from the Oscars which I couldn’t resist and for which I’m sure you appreciate the irony.
It was a quote from Will Smith - "Money and success don’t change people - they only amplify what is already there”.

Possible Tree Planting Opportunity.
 
 
Lynette Wilson has posted on our Club Facebook page a mention about Te Ana Maori Rock Art planting 22,00 special native Totara plants (and that they are looking for volunteers to plant some).
If anyone is interested in assisting (or would like to organise a group to volunteer) they can contact Te Ana Maori Rock Art and check when they are planting next.

Apple Picking For Family Works Food Bank.

 

 

Last Saturday seven current members, past members & friends travelled to a local orchard to pick 'Honey Crisp' apples for 'Family Works Food Bank'. The apples have been donated as they can't be exported this season, they just needed to be picked, boxed and delivered.

To view some photos of the pickers (Jenny, Jess, Lynette, Stephen, Ron Paulin, Dave & Janice Darling) click here...


Shelterbox in Moldova.
 
 
Kia ora,
 
Last month, Russia launched a military operation on Ukraine. Already, 10 million people have fled their homes - creating the fastest-growing refugee crisis in Europe since World War II.
 
Shelter Box currently has a response team on the ground in Moldova - they are working with other aid agencies and Rotary Clubs to distribute aid (including thermal blankets, shelter kits, solar lights, hygiene kits, and water filters) to families who are living in collective centres, damaged buildings, or have fled the country.
 
I'm reaching out on behalf of Rebecca Aitchison - ShelterBox New Zealand's Director of Rotary Engagement, with a poster detailing our response in Ukraine - click here... to view the poster.

Editors Humour.
 

Chris's boss arrived at work in a brand-new Lamborghini. "Wow," Chris said. "That's an amazing car." He replied, "If you work hard, put all your hours in, and strive for excellence, I'll get another one next year".

During a lesson about adjectives, my friend, a high school teacher, asked her class to describe their mothers. One boy described his mother's hair as auburn.

Impressed by his sophisticated word choice, my friend asked, "How do you know her hair colour is auburn?" Her student replied, "Because that's what it says on the box."

After Jenny's grandchildren bragged about what levels they’d attained in a video game, she decided to give it a try. Soon, it was her turn to boast that, in spite of being a newbie, she had already managed to get to level 11. That’s when her youngest granddaughter pointed out that the “11” she was seeing on the screen was actually the game’s pause button.
