The Waimate Focus

From the Presidents notebook

Nau Mai Haere Mai Rotarians,

Another fantastic weekend in Waimate! The Waimate Christmas Parade was a hit with young and old alike, about 20 floats all getting into the Christmas spirit. An amazing amount of work is put into the floats, and it is great to see the community spirit coming alive!
Thanks to the Rotarians who took time out to help with stewarding, you all looked fabulous with the yellow vests!

This week is the sausage cooking at Waimate New World followed by our AGM and club night.  I look forward to seeing you pop past for a hot sausage and chat, and later at the T & C!

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
