Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison

Thanks to King Street Motors for carrying out a Warrant of Fitness inspection of the Hot Dog Caravan at no cost to the Club, and then carrying out some maintenance work, again at no cost to the Club. What great support of our efforts for the community.

President Bev's Message.
Greetings,
It was pleasing and humbling to have so many in attendance at the Change Over last Tuesday.
Thank you to Ellwyn and Neroli from Christchurch and Raewyn, Pauline and Sharyn from Waimate for travelling for our celebration.
The room was full of buzz and colour.
I had the privilege to share the induction of Margaret Perry and Kirsten Judd with President Andrea.
Similarly awarding a Paul Harris sapphire to Keith Bartholomew. This was richly deserved. A special thanks to Pat Bartholomew.
There would not be many Rotarians who have had a Mother and Daughter duo beside you in your President-Elect year. Thank you so much for your support and guidance.
I attended the Timaru North Change Over last night along with Lynette and Lionel. A very pleasant evening with Paul Harris awards for Robbie Jackson, Murray Purvis and Barry Payne.
Enjoy your weekend and stay warm.
Bev
