Wednesday Lotto
We still have thirteen slots to fill for our Wednesday Lotto Fundraiser so please let Deryn know if you (or a group of you) are interested. Once it is full she will get it underway.
So far so good …
In an interesting article this week Luke Malpusus, a political editor with Stuff, noted:
‘Last Thursday the PM said: “We're "halfway down Everest.” But as every mountaineer knows, most accidents occur not on the way up the mountain, but on the way down.’
In parenting sessions I was privileged to run I used to ask attendees what they would do if, during a plane flight with their children, oxygen masks suddenly dropped down from above them. Most said they would instinctively put them on their child(ren) first.
But that is not what we are told to do.
I feel more than ever we need to ensure we look after ourselves 1st in the coming months in order to be able to continue to support our families, friends and the communities we choose to serve in our role as Rotarians.
