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,
We were treated to 3 impressive presentations on how Rotary Exchanges and Vocational Training Tours made an impact on the lives of the participants. After thinking through what they saw, experienced and learnt these three have made contact with Rotary and are following their own paths with the organisation.
Thank you, Jess, Tony & Julie for your stories and your contributions to our Rotary Club.
Congratulations Phil on your membership to the Rotary Club of Timaru. We look forward to having you and Christine with us.
It was a pleasure to bestow an Honorary membership to Russell Dockrill. This was a unanimous decision.
October is Rotary's Economic and Community Development Month. We serve our community well under this umbrella as a club and as individuals. Our Club Business section is always full of events, help required for projects or fundraising for these projects.
Take care and stay warm.
Bev.

Duty Roster Attendance.
It is important (as noted under the "Duty Roster" on the left) that if your name is listed that you organise for someone to do your duty on the night (if you are not attending on the night or you are to be late) as often it is falling to members who are there early in the evening to do the duties (otherwise they are being done later on before the meeting - when those on duty have not appeared). By clicking here it is possible to see the "full" list showing when you are due to be on well in advance to give you plenty of time to organise (swap) with someone. Click here to see your 'host duty tasks' on the night (if you are unsure).
