It was nice to have a three-day
weekend. Chris and I enjoyed some
time in Martinborough over the long weekend with friends.

| New Rotary Education Centre |
Our first club visit for the week was
Rotary Club of Karori. Before the meeting
we were privileged to visit Zealandia (the former Karori Sanctuary) for the
opening of the Rotary Education Centre. Here we planted a tree to celebrate
the opening with Karori Club President Bill Joyce. We were impressed with the new visitors centre and the large
amount of development that had gone on since our last visit. It was interesting to note the work
that the club is doing in the local community to get a better understanding of
the community and their needs. It
was pleasure to be able to award three community PHFs. |

Wednesday saw us at Wellington South Rotary
and learning about many of the local projects they are doing in their community
including their Big Dig day. It
was also a pleasure to welcome a long-standing member into the club as an Honorary
Member.

| President and PDGs |
On Thursday we visited the Rotary Club of Wellington North and Kapiti Rotary.
Wellington North has a long tradition of Past DGs with PDGs Ross George,
Maurice Robertson, and Tony Fryer being present. Much banter and fun was had during the meeting with their ‘Happy
Dollar’, run in place of the more traditional sergeants session, raising money
for their local projects. From
here we travelled up the coast to Kapiti where we met the Board at Southwards
Car Museum before heading of to the club meeting. It was great to be able to induct a past member of the club
back into Rotary. Kapiti has taken
in a number of new members this year which is great to see.
Another enjoyable week.
All the best for the week ahead.
Graeme
and Chris.
