Thought for the week
 
I'd rather regret the things I've done than the things I haven't done.

Rotary Club of Timaru

President Andrea's Message
 
Friday night, glass of wine and dreams of travel.
 
Thank you to Esther Paddon.
How many of us re thought how to travel, how to pack, even where to go to.
Yes, I've even looked at my  dreams of travel. She was an inspirational speaker, her passion to meet the "real people", to see the "real communities" of the lands she visited has made me rethink what travel is. 
 
As I try to settle into this challenging roll I am again and again reminded of the fellowship strength our club has.
It's so good to see hear Russell Dockrill has settled back into Timaru (even if it's in hospital). To hear of the wonderful support both him and Margret have been given is amazing. 
The strength of friendship and fellowship is the backbone of any Rotary Club. We have that in bucket loads. 
 
Tuesday night will see Jess talk to us about "Own Job Talk" This will be both interesting and educational. 
 
Have a fun week 
 
PS I am travelling to Auckland for a weekend soon and looking at small backpack only, challenging as how will I get four pairs of shoes in😁😁

2018/19 RYE Student
 
Our RYE Student Olivia Pehrsdotter is from Brunflo, Sweden.  
Jess collected her from the Christchurch Airport on Friday 20th July.
 
Still looking for 1 more family to host Olivia.  We would be needing a family for about the start of February 2019. Host time is 12-14weeks approx.
 
If anyone can (or knows of a possible family) please contact Jess (hewitson_jessica@hotmail.com or
(021) 886 812).
 
Remember also if anyone is traveling around the region if they can include Olivia to also contact Jess.
 
 
 
Club History
 
Keith wishes to remind members who take photographs of Rotary activities to email copies to him for the scrap book.
 
 
 
Sergeant's Jokes.
 
Sergeant Anne requests that anyone who has suitable jokes for the sergeant session please email her them (and she may consider an exemption on the night she uses your joke).
 
 
Pink Ribbon Appeal.
 
We have received the following email from Eria (of the NZ Breast Cancer Foundation)
 

I am contacting you requesting the voluntary help of your group for the Pink Ribbon Street Appeal on Friday 12th and/or Saturday 13th October 2018.

We rely on the voluntary help of groups like yours to make up almost a quarter of the 10,000 volunteers we need to run this appeal every year.

If your group would like to help we can assign your group to an allocated site to collect and you will be provided with all the buckets, ribbons, sashes etc. that you will need in order for the collection to happen. Whether your members can help us by volunteering at a site for one or both days, or whether individual members can volunteer for a few hours, we would welcome your support. We would love to be able to reassign your group to the site that you looked after in the past.

The challenge is still enormous and we would be grateful for your help to enable our work – through life saving early detection campaigns, research into better treatments and support for New Zealanders with the disease. It’s only through the involvement of amazing community groups like yours that we are able to support and educate others and we would be honoured if you would support Breast Cancer Foundation NZ this year.

I look forward to hearing back from you.

 

If anyone is willing to co-ordinate the manpower for this appeal (or is interesting in assisting with it) please contact Andrea (684 9274 or (0272) 736 454).

 
 
 
Guest Speakers
