The Last Week Before Christmas

As I write this final BLOG for the year I am reminded of the tragedy in Samoa and Fiji and suffering that people are going through.  I ask clubs to please support the aid effort there and want to recognise the great efforts that our District puts in through the provisions of ERKs and Shelterboxes.

For Christine and I it has been a very pleasurable week attending a number of Rotary Christmas functions.  On Wednesday I had the pleasure of being the guest of Honor at the annual Eastern Hutt Old Folks Christmas Function.  This luncheon is put on for Older Folk in the Hutt area by Eastern Hutt Rotary and we were treated to a great meal, entertainment and some Christmas Carols. 

We also attended Christmas functions at Upper Hutt, Heretaunga, and Otaki clubs where a number of PHFs were awarded.  The Otaki function had Roman theme and it was a fitting way to end our year.



We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your support and wish you and your families a very Merry Christmas and New Year and we look forward to a great year ahead in 2013.
