 Last Tuesday saw another keen team of recruits head toward Manukau to the Salvation Army Depot to join with members from Newmarket and Remuera Clubs to perform a wider than normal suite of tasks no the least a major packing of a pallet of fresh carrots donated from a Pukekohe Grower. Peter, Warren and Maurice demolished the job and never want to see another carrot again, but thanks guys. Ted, Sue Vicky and Lois repacked both flour, rice in great quantities, and then got stuck into joining the packing line with the great efficiency and experience that they always exhibit. A great effort by all concerned and further endorsement that our projects don’t need to be about Dollars but are just as rewarding when Community Service is the major driver. These are the dates to put into your diary if you are available and of course, the desire, we can roll along any Tuesday and be appreciated but certainly on our Papakura specified days. George will continue to send reminders. We have had a great 6 months helping at The Salvation Army Food Distribution Centre in Manukau, and I know all of the Rotary efforts have been greatly appreciated by the Salvation Army team at that location. I would personally like to thank you all for your support over that period. So this is the last Roster for 2020. |
