Stories
Our Rotary Year
 
Liz gave us a great overview of our year to date that focussed on the wide range of activities we have been involved with over the last twelve months. 
 
It began with Keith recording our history and then looked at the quite startling fact that we have had six past District Governors and will raise this to seven when Nick takes the reins in the future.
 
The following selection of pictures from Liz’s presentation capture the key activities we have had the privilege to have been involved with as Rotarians in what has certainly been a very different and challenging year.
 
Remembering our History
 
Welcoming new members
 
Working in Committees

Additional activities that were mentioned included the trailer raffle that over three years has raised $75,000 for supporting community agencies and assisting with funding for the building of a BBQ area at the Burwood Spinal Unit.
 
Well done to all members and supporters who contributed their time, effort and passion to make our year a great success.

2nd Reminder
 
The Papanui Club require accurate numbers for meals each week that we are going to be meeting there.
 
To achieve this please advise if not attending and also if bringing a guest to rcpapologies@gmail.com before 10.00 am on Wednesdays.
 
If you do not attend and have not apologised the Papanui Club will have prepared a meal for you.
 
Also, when you are rostered on reception please be there by 5.15pm and help set up the reception area.
