1 March 2017 - Happy 32nd birthday Rotorua North

 
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.
 
 
 
SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING
Members are advised that a Special General Meeting will be held on 15 March 2017 to adopt the revised Constitution.  If you would like a copy of the new constitution please contact the Clubs Secretary (Paul Wright).

DID YOU KNOW:

  • According to history the seed for Rotorua North Rotary was sown around a bottle of whiskey shared by Brian Dickson, Peter Hodsell, Graham Hall and George Mees.
  • The official charter date for Rotorua North was actually 29 January 1985, however the formal club celebration of this was 8 March. (we can only assume it took some time from the submitting of the paperwork to actually receiving approval).
