3 MINUTE TALK 20 SEPT

Tony Robbins attended Southland Boys High School in Invercargill for 4 years, then went into accountancy for a short time. He got involved in the family motor vehicle businesses with 36 staff, selling tractors. He got involved in various other motor vehicle companies in Invercargill, but the businesses were not good. After moving to Queenstown to sell cars, he sold over 300 in 5 years. He sold his shares in the motor vehicle business in Queenstown and went into selling real estate. The 1st house he sold was in Fernhill. The best sale in his entire real estate career was when he sold a large parcel of Andrews Road land for $8 million. He remained with Harcourts in Queenstown for 15 years before he retired and has subsequently been involved with QRC. His current hobby is to keep fit with his walking.

GUEST SPEAKER 20th Sept.

Dr. Sam Hazeldine-Entreprenuer-Doctor-Athlete

As a young man, he drank heavily and nearly killed himself by trying to do a double back flip off a high wall.

After surviving this he took a grip of himself and graduated from medical school in 2003. He became a skiing champion among a whole string of other achievements. He had what he calls ‘a big mantra’, which was a lesson that has changed his life.

MEETING 27 SEPTEMBER

Steve McLean was acting President this week and carried it off with his usual skill.

INNER WHEEL GUESTS

We were delighted to welcome two guests from Inner Wheel - Allysandra Skerrett, President of Inner Wheel and Jenny Mason, Immediate Past President.

Ally briefed us about the beginnings of Inner Wheel and Jenny told us about their big Fundraising project for the Air Rescue Trust on February 9th (Mark your calendars!) Tables of 10 are available for this special High Tea with Susan Devoy at the Hilton for $1000. Be quick to get your table together as they are selling fast. There will also be an auction and Jenny and the Committee are looking for high-end auction items. An example of an item already donated is a Kawarau Jet ride for 22 people. There will be more about this amazing Inner Wheel initiative in later bulletins.
