Hanmer satellite club event

Satellite event in Hanmer - Update

 

On Friday 8th June we welcomed a group of Hanmer residents to talk about the benefits of establishing a Papanui Rotary Satellite group in Hanmer. Liz also had been contacted through Facebook from 5 other residents who expressed an interest but couldn't attend last Friday.
 
 Arie, Nick, Liz and Jonny highlighted the benefits that Rotary could bring to the Hanmer community and explained what the Rotary is and what we could do to help their community.  Each presenter explained the benefits of being a Rotarian with Liz facilitating a discussion about identifying possible community needs and working alongside other community groups to achieve better and bigger outcomes.  After feedback from the residents we need further discussions with other local groups and will contact the school and other community groups.
We felt it was a step in the right direction and are confident that with further discussions we can be successful.
We were supported by a group of Papanui Rotarians who also made our guests feel welcome. Thank you all for attending and to Janice for her expertise in the kitchen.
