DG Update - A Week of Variety

Our week began with a visit to the Rotary Club of Paraparaumu for a Robbie Burns night.  This was a chance to get out my Kilt and dress up for a great night of haggis, food, singing and friendship.  It was also a special night as I was able to award on behalf of the club a Community PHF to Rachel Osborne for her services to Youth in the local community.



On Tuesday we had an opportunity to visit our own club of Plimmerton, where Christine taught the club how to make Peace Cranes. This was a great effort to make a good number to add to our growing collection for us to send across to the Children's Peace Monument in Hiroshima.

DG with Members of West
Wairarapa at the Races

Wednesday, Waitangi Day, we attended the Tauherenikau Races in the Wairarapa as guests of one of my work clients.  This was a great day out for us and here we were reminded of the work of Rotary, as the Rotary Clubs in the area help run the event through arranging car parking etc.

The week rounded out with a number of meetings.  I was particularly pleased to be able to attend the Hutt 1 and 2 cluster meeting with AGs Paul and Carol and their cluster Presidents.  These 2 clusters have been working together very closely through the year and it was great to hear of a number of joint cluster projects and planned meeting.

We trust you have a great week ahead.

Regards
