Having spent the weekend in Queenstown with a Lotto Ticket full of Dreams I now come home with my tail between my legs. Looking at property up to $10miilion at Tuckers Beach you would definitely have needed the $50 Million to live this lifestyle

The Maori Road does not seem so bad after all. Had a good look at Arrowtown and Queenstown, the recent developments are simply amazing.

It is great to hear our new members speeches at last weeks was no exception.

Alison, your speech come from the heart telling us of your journey through life

Coming from a large family, having 40 plus cousin, your love of animals and jobs that enabled you to be with animals, your return to Geraldine High School as an Adult student, then business studies at Aoraki College, working for Alpine Dairy Products (later called Fonterra) and to cap it off a Diploma in Accountancy in Nelson

Your journey to find a partner, made contact with Greg through Country Contacts, the guy from Ngapara. Parents with similar trade backgrounds.

Married in December 2001 with an arm in a sling and a leg in a cast and then purchased a property in Waituna the start of life in Waimate.

Your wish to have children, thwarted on many occasions then down the adoption/foster route. Firstly, two foster children and then adopting twin boys, dealing with all the red tape that goes with this. We even found out that Aoraki Stock foods Calf meal does not do kids any harm (another income avenue for Ken!!!)

We thank you Alison for this heart felt speech and hope Greg and your journey through life is easier. We value your friendly face at our meetings and hope that you enjoy being a Rotarian
