There will be an AGM held at our meeting this Thursday December the 5th to approve the Club Finances for the 2018 / 2019 year.
 
 
Please note that an article on the presentation that visiting staff from Allenvale gave to us last week will be published later this week after it has been reviewed by staff.  I will let you know by email when it is available on our website.  Grant Paice.
 
 
A reminder that this week's meeting is your last opportunity
to bring along non-perishable food items for our Christmas Hamper raffle on the 12th December.
 
 
A reminder that Rotary new potatoes for Xmas from the Belfast club will be available again. They are Cliff Kidneys and are $5.00 per 2.00kg box (same as for the last 2 years).  They begin digging next week.  See the form Gordon emailed out and bring it along with you this Thursday as Grant McFadden will take orders.
 
 
Papanui Rotary Troupe in fine form at our 1st of two Christmas events at Bupa Parklands Care Home last Saturday.  Happy for others to join us this coming Saturday (the 7th) from 1:30-2:30 pm.  The dressier the better.  Don’t worry if you are not the “loudest” singer … others will drown you out J.

Club Fundraiser
 
We are about to begin a 20 week fundraiser, based on the Lotto Bonus Number each Saturday night, raising $1000 for club funds.  It works like this: those who choose to take part choose a number between 1 and 40, that hasn't already been chosen by somebody else.
 
The person having the Bonus Number in Lotto each week receives $50 and the people with the numbers either side of the winning number each receive $10. Members can invite friends, family, workmates, etc to take a number.
 
The sheet of numbers and names can be viewed here. You can ring or text Deryn 021 161 5861 and she will put your name and phone number beside your chosen number.
 
One person per number. Money can be paid in cash at a club meeting or deposited into Papanui Rotary Account 03 1355 0661945 00 using your name and Lotto, as reference. $60 can be paid up front or divided into 3x $20 payments.
 
We will begin as soon as all 40 numbers have been taken. It will be announced in the club chat when it will begin, or, if it is during the holiday period members will be notified by email.
 
The winning number will be announced in the Club Chat and at the following meeting. The winners each week will be notified and payment arrangements will be made if they are not club members, otherwise money will be paid out at our weekly meeting.
