President Bev's Message.
 
Greetings,
 
This week we heard of the work completed by Jess, Tony, Keryn Ward and 9 others for Project Starfish in Cambodia. These volunteers were there from 4-20 December 2019 to help with the remodelling of the drying room, updating the toilet and shower rooms for the senior boys of this orphanage. There was some spare funding which was channelled towards updating the senior girl's toilet and shower rooms, shelving for the school library and resource materials. In the surrounding countryside, the Government has slowly turned the economy from the dangerous and war-like opium trade to growing coffee, cashews, bananas and mangoes.

They were treated to a cultural immersion tour prior to going into camp. The sunrise at Angkor Wat was stunning. Many of the ancient statues were beheaded during the conflicts however there were statues untouched in various part of that tour. Lara Croft – Tomb Raider was filmed in a part of the Angkor Wat site.

This Week's Meeting
Tuesday 18th February 2020
Liz Gregory will speak to us on "A Glimpse Into The Real Gloriavale"
 
 
PARTNERS ARE INVITED
Liz Gregory and a Gloriavale leaver will be our guests and give a glimpse into the real Gloriavale and what a Gloriavale leaver faces when entering a new community on the outside.
Liz will also give us an insight into the hurdles leavers face and work their Trust does in helping them transition into our community.
Next Meeting
Tuesday 25th February 2020
Peter & Janet Russell will speak to us on "Kennedy Space Centre & Mission Control Houston"
 
 
PARTNERS ARE INVITED
 
Followed by a Charitable Trust Board Meeting.
A "Yes" For Jess.
Jess is working hard on the formation of her committees for 2020-2021.
If Jess approaches you for a role and you think it is out of your comfort zone, I urge you to think quietly on the matter and consider who, in our Club, would you go to for help/suggestions in this role. We have a wealth of knowledge in our Club and one of the nicest things is being asked to share it.
 
You are doing well Jess.
 
Thanks, Bev.
Rotary Club of Timaru Banners.
 
The board is looking at getting some banners made for the club (to be presented to visitors of other clubs when they visit our club & also for our members to present when they visit other clubs).
 
If anyone has a copy (either a banner or a photo) of the last banners we had, know when we last had made & from where ordered or any other information to help us ordering these new ones can they please contact Secretary Lionel @ 'LWilsonfamily@xtra.co.nz' or '0272 279 785'.
RYE Student Yannick Miller
 
Our RYE Student Yannick Miller has arrived safely in his host country of Switzerland.   He had a good trip overseas via LA, where he had a 3-day stopover with the other outbound NZ RYE Students.  Yannick will be based in Zurich for his yearlong exchange.  He is being hosted by the Rotary Club of Zurich.   Yannick is currently attending his language camp with about 26 other students.  He is really enjoying the German (he already has a very good understanding of the language) but is finding the Swiss-German a little tricky at this stage.
(Note from Jess Hewitson, Yannick’s Host Counsellor)
 
 
 
 
Photos are of Yannick in LA,  the NZ Group at Heathrow Airport, Zurich Language Camp Students.
Cheque Presentation From November 'Spring Garage Sale'.
 
President Bev. had the pleasure to present cheques of $2500 to Rebecca Honeybone representing 'HeartKids SC' (money to be used to purchase 'Coagulation Machines' for families) and Robyn Baldwin representing 'Multiple Sclerosis NZ”.

'LEXOPHILE' - A Play On Words.
 
Examples:-

Did you hear the one about the rooster who thought he was a matador? It was a cock and bull story.

The drunk tripped and dropped his bottle of Johnnie Walker. He couldn’t hold his liquor.

If you play Scrabble with alphabet soup letters, you might have to eat your words.

His every pronouncement was on the straight and narrow because he was the ruler.
