Member's Answer Andrea's Two Questions.
 
 
1 What brought you into Rotary.
2 Which project has given you the best feeling of WOW that was so worthwhile?
 
 
Why I joined Rotary:  
I was an RYE Student in 2002 and lived in Switzerland for a year. It was an amazing experience and I always wanted to give back to Rotary. I also wanted to get involved with RYE again. 
Working next door to Lionel and with my hospitality experience, he and Lynette got me into help in the HDV a few times and then proceeded to plant the seed of the "NRG", next minute I am starting up NRG Timaru with some friends and am a member of the 9980 RYE Committee. 😊
 
My WOW moment:
Our 1st big project we completed with NRG - delivering 250 Hi Vis vests to Timaru South Primary School.   I also really love the 'Wood Projects' we do within our Club.  To know we are helping people in need keep warm in the winter is a good feeling! ðŸ˜Š
 
Cheers
Jess
