Helping the Pacific
 
 
In case you haven’t seen it yet, Gary  wrote a story in Clubrunner on behalf of Liz called “Helping the Pacific”,  a Rotary Australasia Centenary project to save lives by vaccinating 100,000 children across nine Pacific island countries against three diseases and to establish vaccination programs in each country.
 
Check out the full article on the Papanui Rotary website here which includes a link to the project’s website.

Introducing …
 
The Papanui Rotary Entertainment Group
 
A great afternoon was spent last Saturday afternoon “entertaining” residents and staff at the Parklands Care Home.
 
After being well warmed up by the talents of Ron “The Piano Man” Sedgley, it was straight into our wide ranging variety show with aplomb.  Songs from far and wide were performed with gusto including guest items from “Elvis” and “Sinatra”.
 
Thanks especially to Kate for organising practices and playing the music for us and Angela, who looked quite the piece in her pink dress and umbrella, for arranging this fun event. 
 
 
Today Papanui, tomorrow the world!

The venue will remain at 36 Mary Street, Papanui and start time remains at 7.30 pm.
