Guess Who is Coming to Dinner
Saturday, 3 October
Hold the date!!
An evening of fun, great food and company. The "Guess" is that it we gather at a few members' homes. Guests don't know the identity of their host, or who their dinner companions will be. A must-come event - a chance to get to know more members. Partners very welcome.
The date is especially chosen, as it does not clash with any sporting event!
Contact Derek Gill for more information - we will be looking for hosts and guests.
Rotary Beyond Our Club
Rotary's Lifting the Lid Programme - Youth Mental Health Fundraisers
Three fundraisers to support Wellington youth with mental health issues. Our club has donated money to this programme that funds schools to provide youth mental health services to Intermediate and Secondary Schools in Wellington.
The South Wairarapa Rotary Club's fundraiser with all proceeds supporting Lifting the Lid.
Rotary will run sausage sizzle stalls at the Greytown Mid-Winter Festival on opening night, 27 June,and closing night, 25 July, from 3 to 8pm. This initiative is the South Wairarapa Club. If any Rotarians from other clubs are nearby, they'd would love you to stop by and say hello.
A cake stall in Greytown with Kuranui College at the Cobblestone Victorian Christmas Market on 18 July, from 10am to 3pm, South Wairarapa hope this will raise awareness of the programme and strengthen their work with the College.
