The value of vigilance
Tenacious surveillance ensures that progress in the eradication of polio is not merely sustained but advanced

We are family: Rotary Youth Exchange
Rotary Youth Exchange offers both teens and host families the chance to grow

(If you have any comments or questions, please contact the editor)

We were hosted by the Queenstown Country Club for Last Week’s meeting.

Mark Austin gave an enthralling talk on his Mt Everest adventures. You have to admire the courage skill and perseverance of the men and woman who aspire to climb and conquer the world’s highest mountains.

District Governor, Phill Gully will be meeting with the Board prior to this Tuesday’s meeting and will address the Club at the meeting itself. Phill will give the Club an update on current District and Rotary International issues and it would be great to have as many Club members present as possible.

Remember the Duck race to be held on October 29 needs support from Club members with the recipient being KiwiHarvest.

DG PHIL GULLY VISIT - 3 OCTOBER

Mark your calendar. Coming up on 3 October District Governor Phil Gully, from the Rotary Club of Whakatu, will visit our club. Let’s try and buck the current downward attendance trend and have a big turnout on this night. The 3rd would ordinarily be an off-site meeting date. The off-site meeting will be the week following, on 10 October.

This is a great night out for a great cause. If you want to support the Cancer Society and feel like a glamour night out, the Inner Wheel Club has booked a table of 10 and have a few seats left. It is a fun night out and would be made better sharing it with the Inner Wheel Club.

Tickets are just $210 and include canapés on arrival, a delectable three-course menu inclusive of beverages, live and silent auctions and fantastic entertainment throughout the evening and a live band to dance the night away.

For tickets, please contact Lee-Ann - 021 343 506 or qtown.lee@gmail.com
