IPP Jess's Message.
 
 
Tena Koe! (Hello again!)
 
Filling in for President Hugh this week, I was able to show our club members the lovely pile of presents we gathered for our two families who are part of the 'Family Works Christmas Angels' project.  Thank you so much to all the members and honorary members who donated gifts, cash and vouchers for these families.  I know they will be truly happy to receive all the gifts we have given them (I know I would be anyway!). As you will see in the photo (click here to view) there was a mixture of food items, gift cards for particular shops they requested, petrol vouchers, movie passes, gifts such as a scooter for the 5-year-old, drawing set for the 10-year-old girl who likes crafts etc.   Thanks to Julie and Tash for the help to sort, shop and wrap the gifts. I will deliver them at the end of the week to Family Works on the clubs’ behalf.

Westport Flood Relief Newsletter.
 
 
Through President Hugh we have received from Jean Morgan District 9980 Administrator the December copy of the Westport Flood Relief Newsletter in which they are calling for Rotary volunteers to go to Westport between 27th January & 12th February to carry out minor house repairs & help paint 5 ex Twizel transitional houses (to read click here).

Remember this is "your" bulletin and so please email information to me on what your committee is doing (or planning) so everyone can be aware of it.
Lack of the above will mean the bulletin is not advising the members of what is happening in the club & particapation will be down.
