From the Presidents notebook

 
Kia Ora Rotarians!

Another wonderful weekend for this club, this time working through the Strawberry fear. It was lovely to have it back up and running and seeing all the lovely people walking around enjoying the beautiful weather. Thank you to everyone who supported the club and shelterbox down at the Strawberry fare, we raised a little bit of money to help out more people in need!

The Christmas dinner is this Thursday, and I’m very much looking forward to catching up with everybody there. Make sure you bring your whanau with you, there is a bouncy castle and it should prove to be a very fun evening!

Honour someone special this Christmas season

Now that the festive season is nearly here, we're excited to announce that our Christmas Gift Shop is open!

Our virtual shop is here to make meaningful giving easy. For as little as $20, you can honour someone special in your life, by paying it forward to help a person in need:

1. Pick a life-changing gift from our virtual shop
2. We’ll send you an eCard to pass on to the recipient which explains the impact of your gift
3. Your gift will fund emergency shelter needs worldwide, enabling us to provide shelter and hope to families who have lost their home due to disaster or conflict

This year, 120 million people around the globe will be spending Christmas without a home, and basic necessities - and this is a great opportunity for you to make a difference in their lives.

Make a global difference
