No matter where we have travelled in Australia and New Zealand, the presence of Rotary in the local communities is evident.  We spent 3 Days in Paihia, and on the beach just across from the resort where we stayed there was a shower for rinsing off the sand emblazed with the Rotary logo, beside a beautiful playground built by Rotarians.  I had a great time at their meeting, and have enjoyed make-ups at 6 other clubs in Australia and New Zealand.  We are now in Auckland, and our 8-week adventure will soon be over. 

Looking forward to seeing everyone at our meeting on Dec. 13.

'bye for now, Sue & Ivan
