Once  again it does not do justice to Rotary in New Zealand or our District, however there are several points of general interest and of important information.
 
 
P.5       Branding Rotary. While this is for zone 8 and we are zone 7 it is worth a read. Take the Aussie bias out of it.
 
P.6       A 3 page interview between Ian Riseley and Helen Clark. Some interesting points.
 
P.12     The Klingsmith Challenge. While we may not always agree he raises some interesting points. Could Drury do this?
 
P.14     Global warning – plastics. Read the facts on page 17, what are we as Rotarians doing about this?
 
P.18     Fighting crime? P 18 gives us facts re our Maori population, New Zealand andAustralia, we are all aware of.
 
I highly recommend pages 22 & 23. Should we as a Rotary club interested in our local community set up a meeting with Brian Joyce and Tony Kake to discuss this initiative? George and I know Tony Kake reasonable well and sure we could set it up.                 
 
To me the last issue is the important one for our club to follow up with.
