Our week began by attending the ROZCOM meeting a Wellington Airport on Sunday morning. Here representatives from each Districts PR Committees came together to discuss Rotary PR across New Zealand and proposals for 2013/14. Considerable time was spent discussing Social Media and how we can best use of this to connect with the younger generation and attract new members. It is great to see a coordinated approach to PR across New Zealand and see the great work that our own PDG Howard Tong is doing.
Later in the afternoon we attended a wild food BBQ put on by Plimmerton Inner Wheel. This was a great chance to taste some local rabbit, pork, venison, trout and salmon - a great way to finish the day.
It was good to be able to attend a book launch by one of the members of Plimmerton Rotary, David Pine and attend one of our clubs regular club nights which was followed by our final conference committee meeting of the year. The conference is well on track with the programme now finalised and all speakers in place. Please remember to visit the conference website at http://www.rotaryconf2013.co.nz and look to register for this even.On Thursday we attended Wellington North Christmas function, a great night with much fun and laughter. A highlight of the night was a presentation to PDG Tony Fryer with a PHF Sapphire pin in recognition of his work in District in implementing the Future Vision Pilot. During his time we have seen Foundation giving increase by 30% in our District. In addition Tony is also Chair of International RYLA.
We hope you all have a great week as we head in towards Christmas.
