The President’s Blurb
It was wonderful to be able to induct new member Mark Bond last Thursday. Mum Adrienne was very proud and it was special to have her and Mark's wife Julie along on the night plus Mark’s good friend Craig Sargison, President of the Rangiora Rotary Club.
If any member knows people who they believe are keen to serve their community and might be willing to do that with Rotary please feed the names to Arie or Nick and they will pick up from there with the membership committee.
Alert levels have not changed so this week it will be plated meals at the club again.
This week I have a cluster meeting with Assistant Governor Craig Murphy and the Presidents of Avonhead, Hornby, Riccarton and Sunrise. It is always interesting to hear what other clubs are up to, share ideas and hear how they are handling change in this challenging environment we operate in.
