Hello everyone and I hope you're all staying safe and well in lockdown!  I really hope it’s only for a few more days and that we can gain some normality again.  As for Queenstown Rotary, I’d say that we are at least a couple more weeks away from having face to face meetings.
 
From my business perspective my team and I, while essential services, covers only 50% of our main activities.  So, as with all of us, it is difficult times trying to keep afloat and keep people employed.  However we remain very positive and forward looking - we will all certainly get through this.  We really feel for the impact on the local economy.
 
It was great to see Mana Tahuna and ‘Engage Safety’ taking the initiative for public vaccinations.  Well done Darren and Debbie Rewi, and their team.  Also Past President Lee-Ann for assisting them!  I have been forwarded this link if anyone was wanting to apply for the Covid vaccination:
 
The Brazilian BBQ at FOGO restaurant - reflecting back on the last few weeks, I have been reminded that we didn't cover this off-site event.  My apologies - I think that it was a superb night with great people and amazing food, especially that BBQ pineapple.  My eyes were bigger than my belly and I certainly over did it!  I'm sure I wasn't the only one. 
 
Please stay safe and if anyone needs any assistance, please don't hesitate to get in touch.
 
Yours in Rotary
President Jason

DUTIES NOTICES & APOLOGIES
IPP Lee-Ann is looking after the programme, duties, meetings and attendance.  If you have any suggestions/ideas for the programme please let her know.  If you have a duty and can’t attend, please make sure you find a replacement.
 
The 3 Minute Talk - to make sure we run to time, please keep to between 3-5 minutes, unless pre-arranged with President Jason.  
 
Apologies - Must be received to queenstownrotary@gmail.com before 12pm Tuesday at the latest.  Please be aware that you will be invoiced for your meal if no apology is received.  If you are unsure if you can make it each week, you can put in a permanent apology and let us know when you do come.  It is easier to inform the restaurant of an extra meal than the Club having to pay for meals not claimed.

    THE ROTARY FOUR WAY TEST
 
   1. Is it the TRUTH?
 
   2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
 
   3. Will it build GOODWILL and FRIENDSHIP?
 
   4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
