President Cheryl's Message
Hi everyone
I feel so proud of our Club when we get positive feedback from our students that we sponsor on professional and personal development programmes. Last week we heard from Louisa Stuart who has just returned from the Science Forum in Auckland. Such an opportunity. We should explore similar opportunities for other career topics.
Next week is Club night. We have some big challenges, in particular, the need for new members and the filling of some executive positions for the next year. I’m hoping to make it a dual workshop event. Some time as a group and some time in our committees. Please come prepared to contribute to the discussion with positive thoughts/ideas and ways in which we can improve.
We have achieved a lot in the last year as we surfaced from the challenges facing the country. We’ve started increasing our income back to pre covid times, especially the hot dog van, and we had a busy six months with lots of requests for help in various forms from the community.
See you with a long list of discussion points next week.
Yours aye
Cheryl

The Club has received the following letter from John Rushton after he was presented a 'Paul Harris Fellowship' for his voluntary work in the community last week:-
Hello Cheryl
I would appreciate if you could forward my thanks to all the members of the Timaru Rotary Club for the friendly welcome, lovely dinner and enjoyable company Vicki and myself received at your club's BBQ dinner last Tuesday. It was a joy to share a meal with you all and the entertainment provided by Jenny’s BBQ fireworks!
Please extend my thanks to the club members for the honour afforded me with the Paul Harris Fellow. Such kindness is amplified knowing it comes from a group that itself is founded in service to the community.
