Our visit to the Arcade went well, I remember going there with the Rotary Club when the Waimate Restoration Committee was trying to get the project off the ground. My personal opinion at the time was demolition was the answer. It was a daunting task.
 Congratulations to Gary Rooney and the Local Tradesmen for the completion of the first stage. Its great to see the pigeons have gone and something useful has evolved. Thanks to Rick Stevens for spending time with us. It was also pleasing to see a good turnout of Rotarians and partners for the night.
It was a pleasure to be present at the launch of the Mayor’s Task Force for Jobs Programme that will enable jobseekers to get their driver’s license. You will see the sign written Honda about town of which the Rotary Club is a sponsor together with Waimate Lions and Fonterra. There is a Press Release with Photos etc. being released this week with more detail. Special thanks to Harvey, Lynn, and Alan for their input into this project.
