Go Girl - The Full Story
As mentioned briefly in the last Club Chat, Liz has been busy assisting a local Papanui retirement village resident with her groceries. She sent through more details as follows:
Liz put her name out on the Neighbourly website to say that she was a Rotarian with the Papanui Rotary and if anyone was needing help with grocery shopping to contact her. Within a short time a resident from Ngaio Marsh Village phoned.
Adrienne has no family in Christchurch and had trouble having her registered address updated by Countdown for online shopping. She eventually gave up after three hours on the phone when they still hadn’t got it right!!
Liz contacted her and after they talked for a while Adrienne mentioned that her son had been a Rotary Exchange Student many years ago so she knew she could trust me. This really says it all about the power of Rotary!
The whole shopping experience went well and Liz was very impressed with the levels of security when dropping off the groceries to a manned tent at the entrance set up with tables for collections and deliveries where plenty of sanitisers were sprayed over all the items and names written down.
Liz never got to see Adrienne but hopes that she can help her again and one day meet her.
