A very warm welcome to all our members and guests and thank you for coming along to help celebrate our 32nd birthday.
As is tradition President Bridgette handed over the evenings celebrations to Past President Ann Crossley who took us back in time to her year as President in 2010-11.
Thanks for the hats Ann, we 'loved them'.
It was great to see some of our charter members present and with a degree of sadness that we acknowledged the passing of so many of our valued members.
Over the years Rotary has been involved in many community projects and it was a nice reminder to see what we had achieved over the years. Richard Evans managed to give away several fine bottles of wine in the raffle session and four lovely ladies in blue, Rotorua vocal group Finely Tuned, took the stage and entertained us with a bit of jazz and swing hits.

All in all it was a very enjoyable celebration of our 32nd birthday, made even more special by the presentation of a Paul Harris Fellow to Bryan Collins. Congratulations and thank you for the work you do for our club in the name of Rotary.
